Thanks Steve,

This answered my question. Neither mythtv.co.nz nor mythtv.org's page on
multirec have this information (Prime is not included) and I thought
Prime was on the Mediaworks multiplex.

This was helpful, thanks. On this occasion that makes sense (as the
multiplexes can't all be recorded). In my previous example, though,
switching things around meant that I could record everything on
equal-priority inputs, so it would be nice if MythTV did that for me. At
the least, it would be nice if one could override the tuner to be used
for a specific recording in the Upcoming Recordings screen, so that
conflicts can be manually resolved.

Thanks again,

Aaron
