I have a problem where i have 1 crappy tuner and one ok tuner. the ok tuner (tuner #1) can tune up to channel 78 while the crappy one (tuner #2) only tunes up to channel 60 then gives static. Im pretty sure that this isnt a settings issue at this point as ive done extensive guess n' check with it. So my question is, how do i get myth to never give tuner #2 any job above channel 60? I was thinking of assigning these channels higher priority and giving tuner #1 high priority, but then if two 60+ channels come up to record at once, both tuners would still be used. what's the work around?

oh, and i tried getting a new feed set up from zap2it, but they don't allow two from the same system (in my case rcn analog cable)

Perhaps this is going to sound really stupid, but, have you tried swapping the cables between the cards? It's possible that you have a faulty cable which is acting as a filter, attenuating the higher frequency channels.
Also maybe swapping cards in their slots to check it is not an interference problem. A really out of it suggestion, check that the cards are the same, it might be that the second card is using a different component so the device parameters are not the same for both cards.
Of course as you said it might be a rubbish tuner. :)
