[mythtv-users] Overlapping Recordings

[Reuben Perelman]

I usually have a recording start a minute early to make sure that I get 
the beginning of a program. My system has 2 TV tuners. Say show A is 
from 8:00 - 8:30, and show B is from 8:30 - 9:00. When setting the 
recording to start a minute early, show A will be recorded from 
7:59-8:30, and show B will be recorded from 8:29-9:00. Both show A and B 
are on channel 1. From 8:29-8:30 for a minute, mythtv will use both 
tuners to record both shows on the same channel. So if I wanted to 
record show C on channel 2 at 8:00-8:30, it won't be able to record 
because both Show A and B are being recorded from 8:29-8:30 using all of 
the TV Tuners, meaning that for that minute there will be nothing to 
record Show C in that period. Is there a way that I could set Show A and 
B to record from 8:29-8:30 from the same tuner because there on the same 
channel and thus exactly the same content, freeing up a TV tuner?
