[mythtv-users] Recording the same program at the same time using 2 different tuners.

I am using 2 lineups in Schedules Direct for some time. I had a
KWorld115 digital tuner connected before the Prime. I was planning to
ask the list if that (2 lineups) was still necessary with 0.25.

I was concerned that mythtv would prevent recording the same title &
ProgramID. I will have to try this soon. I was also unsure why Mythtv
was not trying to move analog recordings to the Prime in the case of
conflicts but I see for these recordings I have "Record at any time on
channel ." so that makes sense since the HDHR would have a different
channel.

Thanks a lot,
