I am running 0.23.0+fixes from ubuntu 10.04.  The bug has been present since the ability to record multiple programs from the same multiplex appeared (in Karmic from memory - not sure which Myth version).

I set up the schedule by going to the program finder and asking Myth to record those programs... but I suspect I'm missing something in that question.

I gave the cardIDs - the recordings alternate between cards 1 and 2, which are both on adaptor0.  Um, what preferences should I change in the schedule?  I'm perfectly happy with the schedule.  I'm not happy with the fact that it doesn't record, but that isn't a problem with the schedule.  If I tweaked things to use two separate adaptors then it would work, but I don't know how to do that, and that would only fixing the symptoms in this instance.  I would like to fix the underlying problem.

yes - as noted originally, both the cardids in that schedule are on adaptor0.

Why?  What am I trying to achieve by changing this?
