OpenATV Tuner priority/preferred question - Thanks in advance

He Folks.

So i spent some of lockdown 1 and 2 looking to upgrade my kit, and recently acquired a VU+ Duo2. I originally intended to use this solely for my foreign satellites (7,9,13,16,19.2,23.5E), but i found the box such a joy. Incredible operating stability, EPG acquisition is flawless. I reconfigured my DISEQC switches and LNB feeds as follows to have one box for all my TV

Tuner 1: DISEQC1 A: 7Eeast
B: 19.2East
C: 23.5East
28.2East (Freesat)

Tuner 2: DISEQC2 A: 16East
B: 13East
C: 9East
28.2East (Freesat)
Tuner 3: DVBT2 Saorview

It works fantastically running OPENATV 6.4. Twin Tuner is perfect on Satellite and the output from the T2 Tuner ports into my Saorview TV so i have basic Twin Tuner capability if i am recording one Saorview Station on the Box, and watching another on the TV (regardless of Mux) - im delighted with this its a massive step forward for me!
There is one nitpick; and it is just that, a nitpick! lol. I have noticed that the Box automatically uses Tuner one for Recording anything on Freesat. This obviously disables all the other birds on my Diseqc1, which has happened a few times (wouldnt have noticed except im frequently looking at EUROSPORT DEUTSCHLAND on 19 - and it vanishes or becomes 'unavailable'! took me a few minutes to realize it was that Tuner 1 is default)

The nit pick is: is there a way to tell the box to use a specific tuner for recording? to specify which tuner to use? Obviously i could wire it differently, with 19 to diseqc 2, but same issue will crop up for hotbird. So just to be clear, im wondering is there a way to specify a tuner when im clicking record?

Thanks in advance, and if its not possible its no bother. Its just a niggle but overall im massively impressed with the VU+

There is an option to set the preferred tuner for recording in the recording setup.
