There's some talk in that linked thread of a setting to avoid conflicts 
between live tv and recordings, but I couldn't seem to find much info on 
what that does.  One thing I might have seen is that it will start using 
the tuners from the bottom up for Live TV if enabled?  In which case on 
my system (after reconfiguring as above), if I go into live TV it would 
use tuner 4 (on tuner 2), then another frontend tuner 3 (on tuner 1)?  
If a recording would then be due to start, would it attempt to use tuner 
1, and in doing so pop up the "a recording is about to start, what do 
you want to do?" box on the frontend using tuner 3?

Thanks,
James.
