Questions about Setup
I have a question about how MythTV schedules.

Let's say I have 3 boxes, A, B, and C.

Box A is set up as the backend with the best tvcard/horsepower/space.

Boxes B and C are ok, but have less space and a worse tvcard.

If I choose "Record this showing" using the frontend on either box B or C,
does mythtv know to make the recording with box A, provided that there are
no scheduling conflicts?

It schedules shows on machines in the order they're in the database -- so if
box A is the first one setup (and likely the master server as well), it will
always try that one first.
