This would be good. Or what about the ORDER it looks for channel in?
EG.
Tuner 1 has BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4, C5, Sky One, Sky News and QVC
Tuner 2 has the same as tuner 1 but about 50 more.
Tuner 3 has the same as tuner 2 but about 100 more. (inclucding all the film channels)
So when I want to record BBC 1 it goes to tuner 1 first (if that is free) then tuner 2 and so on.

Thats pretty much what it does today when you schedule a recording. It works its way down the capture source list as shown in the config app, looking for an available capture source, with the specified channel present. So effectively the first capture source is the highest priority etc.
Sub, is it still on your ToDo list to put buttons on the capture source list in the config app to move up/down the capture sources? We can then change the order without removing and then re-adding capture sources.

No, it hadnt really been something I'd been planning to do. I cant see why not though, but I probably wont get to it in the next couple of releases.
While the idea is rattling around, one thing I thought would be handy at times would be an enable/disable tick box to temporarily remove a device from being used without having to remove and reinstall it.
I do like the sound of those up/down buttons though (especially if it goes though all the recurring programs it has found as well).

That is the general rule that is applied. It works its way down the list, checking that the capture source has the requested channel and is available at the specified time, if not then it moves to the next one.
It can be different if your altered the default <PreferAlternatingCaptureSources>false</PreferAlternatingCaptureSources> setting to "true" in config.xml.
