I thought that the idea of priorities was that they were used by
preference, but should never cause a conflict? Can they sometimes cause
issues?

I'm bumping this thread because I have another scheduling issue on
Tue Jul 6, 2010. After removing all priorities from the programs, this
is the result:
==========
DVB1 (8)	The Good Wife: Running 	3 - TV3 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (09:28 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins 	

DVB0 (4)	True Stories: The Worlds Heaviest Man 	9 - PRIME 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (09:38 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins 	

Conflict 	V 	2 - TV2 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (10:28 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins
===========

I have a dual-tuner HVR2200 DVB-T card. I have four virtual tuners for
each physical tuner.

With my priorities applied (3, 0 and 2, respectively), this is the result:
===========
DVB0 (4)	The Good Wife: Running 	3 - TV3 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (09:28 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins 	

Conflict	True Stories: The Worlds Heaviest Man 	9 - PRIME 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (09:38 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins 	

DVB1 (8) 	V 	2 - TV2 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (10:28 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins
===========

There is nothing relevant before or after (I realise hard padding
affects scheduling). This should be able to record all three as follows:
===========
DVB0 (4)	The Good Wife: Running 	3 - TV3 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (09:28 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins 	

DVB0 (5, 6 or 7)	True Stories: The Worlds Heaviest Man 	9 - PRIME 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (09:38 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins 	

DVB1 (8) 	V 	2 - TV2 	
Tue Jul 6, 2010 (10:28 PM) 	1 hr 7 mins
===========

While I don't actually mind missing the World's Heaviest Man, I can't
see why I keep getting these scheduling conflicts.

With previous conflicts, I've been able to make some recordings "prefer
input x" and it will jiggle and fix (which itself doesn't make sense to
me, as my inputs have the same priority (1) and, even if they didn't, it
should always move things to the other tuner if the alternative is a
conflict), but this one will not fix.

It would be great to get on top of this issue, or at least isolate it
enough for a bug report to MythTV.

Thanks in advance,

Aaron
