You've figured out that you need multiple Video Sources, but also, never
use input priority (nor channel priority) to try to specify which inputs
should be used first. In 0.25+, you should set the priorities to 0 for
inputs and channels (unless you really want input or channel
priorities--which almost no one does since they mean, "I'd rather miss a
recording than get one from this other input/channel") and set the Live
TV and recording order in mythtv-setup so that the preferred cards get
the lowest values for first order and the less-preferred get higher values.
