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

Yeah, but if I want to record show A, which is followed by Show B  
(immediately, same channel), and I'm using my VCR, I don't go out and  
buy two VCRs. I make two scheduled recordings on my VCR (or one) and  
let it roll. Something tells me something like this shouldn't be too  
hard for Myth, nor should it require a second capture card! I mean,  
if I record maybe, five shows a day, and two of them are back-to- 
back, it's outrageous that someone should be expected to buy a second  
card! One card seems like an appropriate number for that kind of load.
