Time bound Tuner?

Is there a way to have SageTV only select a tuner for recording favorites during a certain timeframe?

I am taking the H-20 DirecTV receiver out of the TV room and down to the basement so that Sage has two H-20s and the TV room as no way to watch TV except through SageTV. I am concerned about the WAF as tuning channels will be slower, and she might freak if both tuners are being used at the same time to record shows. So I was thinking, maybe SageTV could ignore one of the h-20s between 6pm and 10pm, virtually the only time she watches TV.

Not sure about this capability, but I've found that with enough storage space, the entire family will stop watching live TV almost entirely. Only reality shows "need" to be watched when they're on and they're going to be recorded as a favorite anyway, so they'd be reusing that same tuner.

The only time I see a need for live TV is when guests are at the house. It takes some time to teach them how to use Sage, plus (quite understandably) they probably don't like what we've recorded. For that purpose, I keep thinking about a separate DirecTV box that people could use solely for live TV.
