Is there a way to select which channel to record for a team pass?

I have a team pass setup for Florida Gators football. It seems that ESPN decided to stream two versions of the game, the main feed on ESPN with normal camera views and commentators, and an alternate feed on ESPNU with no commentary and only the camera view from skycam. While it was fun to watch the alternate version for a bit, I did not want to watch the entire game this way. Fortunately (or unfortunately given the final score), I was able to watch the game live and didn't need the recording, but i can see this being an issue in the future.

So, is there a way for a team pass recording to select which channel is recorded? I was unaware of the two streams in advance, but now that I know it could be an issue, I'd like to be able to select which feed in the future.

Yes, Would like to at least set channel priority. Obviously channels did not prioritize this since ESPN is by priority in the guide should have been the one to be recorded. This has happened every weekend so far.

Yes, I guess I should clarify that I'm using Locast & TVE, I don't have a HDHR. ESPN is channel 6140 and ESPNU 6142.

You can edit the pass on the dvr web UI and add a channel number

But we’d have to edit it weekly since football games are on different channels every week, defeating the purpose of a team pass. Kenny’s idea of channel priority would be better option.

If you favorite ESPN on the dvr it will be given priority.

Are there any extra tags on the ESPNU version that recorded?

I have both ESPN and ESPNU favorited. I guess I should unfavorite ESPNU so it lowers it's priority? The recording is already deleted and removed from the trash so I can't check the tags.
