Reserve TV tuner for viewing only

[Guest asrequested]

I think it would be good to be able to keep tv tuners from recording. That way if we record as many shows as there are tuners, live tv will always be available for viewing. Of course, one show won't be recorded, but that would be a choice we would make.

I disagree. The wmc logic should be used where if you are watching a channel and the tuner is needed a pop up should appear (perhaps only for admins or elevated accounts) and tell them the channel is changing to begin this recording, cancel if you want. For non admins they should just be kicked out.

 

Otherwise it's a complete waste of a tuner

^^this.  Just like a regular STB.

I like the WMC approach as well.
