[mythtv-users] tuner priorities

i have DVB-T, and DVB-S2 tuners in my BE.
the DVB-T is fairly poor signal with intermittent blocking so my
preference is to use the DVB-S2 tuners if at all possible.

both the DVB-T and DVB-S2 have overlapping channels (eg: BBC One), and
i have both inputs allowing all channels.

i have set tuner priority of the DVB-T as -2. (DVB-S2 is 0)
i have also enabled 'avoid conflicts' in the FE settings.

when i watch liveTV, it will default to the DVB-T input, which is not
desired behaviour.
the DVB-T tuner should only be used when a channel is only available
on the DVB-T source, OR both DVB-S2 inputs are inuse.

i think i've asked this before (or atleast seen another thread), but i
cant find the info anymore. in the past i've configured it so DVB-T
only channels are available on that source, but i cant remember if
this was for convenience, or a technical reason.

can this be done?
