No, 5 didn't conflict with 3 and 4...since they're on the same channel,
different mplex (if I'm describing it properly).  The pchdtv card can record
multiple shows off the same channel.  It does that just fine.

Oh, and the shows 1 and 2 (going to the PVR250) were on the same channel, and
3 and 4 were also on the same channel.

1 - 8:00-8:30 Channel 7 - Show to record on PVR250
2 - 8:30-9:00 Channel 7 - Show to record on PVR250
3 - 8:00-8:30 Channel 504 - Show to record on PCHDTV (Multiplex 1)
4 - 8:30-9:00 Channel 504 - Show to record on PCHDTV (Multiplex 1)
5 - 8:00-9:00 Channel 509 - Show to record on PCHDTV (Multiplex 2)

504 and 509 are multiplexed together on the same "physical" channel and can be
recorded by one card.

I swear before I moved over to Fedora, this worked fine and recorded more than
2 shows at the same time...but i wasn't running 24.1 before.
