Well this is how I'd like it to work, note: I have 2 tuners...

Recording schedule is set like:

Show is on channel 1 at 8pm-9pm
Show is on channel 1 at 9pm-10pm
Show is on channel 2 at 8pm-9pm

I want the channel 1 shows to be recorded on tuner 1 with the overlapping
padding to be cut off so that the channel 2 show can still be recorded with
padding.

However if recording schedule is set like:
Show is on channel 1 at 8pm-9pm
Show is on channel 1 at 9pm-10pm

I want tuner 1 to record the first show and tuner 2 to record the second
show both with padding.

MythTV can't do this, which is a shame but it has been discussed a load of
times and I would just have to buy a bigger case and get a 3rd tuner if it
bothered me enough (or wait for multiple recording off a single tuner to be
implemented).

Ash.
