Then, assuming you don't have any Input Priorities nor Preferred input 
priority (and haven't set a Preferred Input on the recording rule), I'm 
guessing you've broken multirec by enabling:

Avoid back to back recordings
Selects the situations where the scheduler will avoid assigning shows to 
the same card if their end time and start time match. This will be 
allowed when necessary in order to resolve conflicts.

(setting it to either Always or Different Channels).
