Order of Inputs
By default the scheduler chooses the first (lowest numbered) input which has a showing of the scheduled program as it fills the
schedule. If a lower priority show is on at the same time as a higher priority show that has been assigned to input 1, then input 2
will be used next and so on. Therefore, configure your best card and input first and next best card and input second. There may be
differences in the type or brand of capture card, signal quality from the cable, system resources such as disk space, CPU, etc. By
configuring your best input first, more recordings, and your highest priority recordings, will use that input.
A common situation is that a newer and better card is added last. For example, you may initially setup your system with two analog
cable cards and then add a HDTV card. If NBC is on a cable channel and "The Apprentice" is shown in HDTV on an NBC HD channel, the
scheduler would still prefer analog inputs 1 and 2 over the new HD input 3.
So, if you'd like the scheduler to prefer a new source, the simplest thing is to run mythtv-setup and "Delete all capture cards"
then enter your cards and inputs in your preferred order. This will not remove your sources and channels - you want to keep those
and only renumber your cards and inputs. In this example, once the changes have been made and the Master Backend is restarted, the
scheduler would then choose "The Apprentice" in HD on the new input 1 and only use the analog inputs (now numbered 2 and 3) when the
HDTV input was occupied with another show.
Is this relevant? (I am not suggesting this is entirely logical, it is just what it says!)
