[mythtv-users] is mythtv smart enough to do this(overlap/back-to-back) with recordings?

I might be understanding this completely wrong but.. a quote from the trac
entry:

It would seem that the recording to multiple files was first implemented in
MpegRecorder *not* the DVBRecorder. I assume the same logic could also be
applied to any of the other recorders. It gets more complex when you try to
do multiple channels on a single mux etc. But that's not how the coding
started out, it looks like it started out in a way that can solve this
problem.
