Setting capture priority

[mvallevand]

I don't know if it is possible but I'd like to see more options for configuring tuner priorities and also channels on a tuner as HD/SD

For my local broadcasts I have many options of recording or watching the same show

1 - cable SD analog tuner or OTA SD NTSC (not used dead in August)
2 - cable SD analog HDPVR
3 - cable HD analog HDPVR
4 - OTA HD ATSC

Rather than mapping these to 4 EPG channels like I do now, I like to see one EPG entry, but I'd like to be able to select recording HD or SD. I would also like to be able to set the priority for recordings based on either size or quality not just one device priority.

I could then ask for Best Quality or Lowest Size as one setting and Any Tuner, HD Tuner, SD Tuner as another option.

Here is my suggestion for the priorities

Quality order ATSC QAM-HD HDPVR-HD QAM-SD HDPVR-SD NTSC
Size order HDPVR-SD QAM-SD NTSC HDPVR-HD QAM-HD ATSC

For LiveTV, I would always like the Best Quality with a no-tuner available message bouncing me when applicable.

Oh yes, second that request!

We haven't got enough FTA HD channels yet so I have them as separate EPG entries, but certainly something will be needed if/when more become available.
