Ok Bottomposting

I will disable the first option putting them at zero (since I'm about to
plug in an additional two tuners next to the two I already got I don't need
that one)

Well regarding the recordings for dutch channels..try to record one of the
more high profile movies on any one of the RTL stations, they tend to screw
up their programming quite a lot. I update my tv schedules only once a day
due to the fact that it takes forever and I don't have digital tv. I
haven't been able to see the beginning of a movie for some time on those
channels.

Also nickelodeon is a good one for messing up their schedule for more than
10 mins in the early hours.
 (I've been trying to get a full recording of 'shaun the sheep' for 3 days
now) And I was seriously pissed at them for messing up 'Sinterklaas
Journaal'. I had some real difficulties explaining those to the kids.
