[mythtvnz] Two 500T's and Live TV

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi,

There is an option in the General TV settings (on the first tab I
think) that make live tv avoid tuners that might be recording already.
 Checking that option in my case pushes live tv always to an unused
tuner, that doesn't have any recordings scheduled.

Also - do you use multirecording from the same multiplex? How many
'virtual' tuners do you have per one physical one?

kind regards
Pshem
