You're right.  After I added that I simply did as you suggested and 
backed out the change.  Recordings look good again.  I have 2 WinTV in 
my master and 1 PVR-150 in a slave.  I've been meaning to make the 
PVR-150 the highest input preference because it generates the best 
looking recordings and then when I have 1 recording, the PVR goes (no 
load), with 2, the PVR and 1 WinTV go (half load on backend) and only 
when I have 3 going do I reach full load on the backend machine.   I 
up-ed the pref and my upcoming recordings work out that way.  I left the 
two WinTV cards with 0 preference as they then seem to simply be used in 
numeric order as expected.
