That's not what's happening for me. I've got 3 virtual tuners. One  
recording starts on the first one, the next recording starts on the  
next virtual tuner. I can see them both recording at the same time  
during the overlapping times. Something's not set up right - either in  
your recording rule or your tuner setup. You are using DVB, right?
