Comment(by anonymous):

 In addition to the problem I described on the last post, today it happened
 a weird thing. The schedule was the following:
 [[BR]]

 ||Start Time || Name      ||           Tuner[[BR]]

 ||22:00  ||     House - Chapter X  ||  4[[BR]]

 ||22:02   ||    House - Chapter X  ||  5[[BR]]

 ||22:05    ||   Los Serrano     ||     Conflict[[BR]]

 ||23:00    ||   House - Chapter Y  ||  6[[BR]]

 ||23:55     ||  House - Chapter Z  ||  4[[BR]]


 Tuners 1-3 belong to Card 1; Tuners 4-6 belong to Card 2; Tuners 7-9
 belong to Card 3; The cards have different priority: Card 1 is +3; Card 2
 is +2 and Card 3 is +1, so that scheduling of programmes in the same
 multiplex is made to the same tv card and more cards are free at any given
 time.

 The House recordings have a +3 priority and Los Serrano recordings have a
 +1. Los Serrano are shown in a different multiplex to House. All the House
 chapters are shown back to back in the same channel.

 The scheduler decided that there was a conflict even when there where 2
 free tv cards, that is, 6 free tuners. As a result it didn't start
 recording the recording in conflict. However, I went to upcoming
 recordings screen and told mythtv to reactivate the recording in conflict.
 It did activate it and the recording was assigned to tuner 1 (Card 1).

 So it looks like the scheduler fails some times even when there are free
 tuners and cards.

 I have 0.21-fixes svn of 16 March, and the box has 3 tv cards (3 physical
 tuners) with 3 "virtual" tuners each (that is, 3 concurrent recordings per
 card).
