Merge channels (cable and OTA)

[muzicman0]

Is this possible?  I have just added 4 OTA tuners.  I would like to make them be the first priority for recording the main networks here in the states (ABC, CBS, etc).  But, when I merged cable channel '2' with OTA channel '2.1', it appears that it will never use the OTA tuner.  

Is it possible to merge cable channels with OTA since the programming is exactly the same?

EDIT: Actually, now that I look closer, it also appears that even though the OTA tuners have priority in settings, subscriptions that are marked 'Any Channel' still defer to the Cable tuners.  I can only assume that this is because channel 5 comes before channel 5.1.  Is there any way around this?  Without explicitly setting it to channel 5.1 since I want it to fall back to the cable channel 5 if it runs out of tuners.

Did you try manually merging?

yes.  it merged fine (from what I could tell), but when I tried playing channel '2', it used the Cable tuner, even though the OTA tuners had priority.

By default Live TV works in reverse priority saving higher quality for tuners

Ah...that explains why when I just tried again, it chose the lowest priority. I will do some experimenting and verify it works as I would expect. Thanks.

Thanks. Seems to work as I want now. It didn't at first, but I emptied the EPG, re-downloaded, and then rebooted, and now it works.
