[mythtv-users] is this possible (multiple tuners and sources)

[Dylan Keon]

I have a working MythTV system (FC3, ATRPMS) with two PVR-250s.  I added 
a PVR-150 tonight, upgraded to the latest kernel and ivtv 0.3.6w, and I 
can get video via the PVR-150 (no sound, though).  My goal is to have 
the two PVR-250s record analog cable (already working), and the PVR-150 
record OTA broadcast signals via my rooftop antenna since the reception 
of local channels stinks on our analog cable.

I set up a new video source called "antenna" and configured a new "local 
broadcast" channel listing for my area at zap2it.  However, it's not 
clear to me how this will get handled in the EPG.  For example, channel 
7 on analog cable is Discovery, while channel 7 on broadcast is PBS. 
After running mythfilldatabase these both appear in the EPG, but where 
channels are the same (i.e., channel 9 is the same station on both cable 
and OTA), there is only one entry in the EPG.

I want local channels to be recorded on the PVR-150 by default, using 
the local broadcast channel listing unless there is a conflict, in which 
case they would get recorded on one of the PVR-250s.  Cable-only 
channels would always get recorded on the PVR-250s.  Is all of this (or 
any of this) possible?  I could just delete the duplicate broadcast 
channels from the cable lineup, but then that would eliminate the 
possibility of using the cable as a backup to resolve conflicts.

Thanks,
Dylan
