[mythtv-users] pre/post roll not working even though multiple free tuners and multi-rec even with just two back to back

[Mitch Capper]

Thanks Jim! I am showing  SchedOpenEnd set to 2 now in the database,
scheduled something new to record right after another program and it still
put it on the same tuner.  Did a backend restart after the change as well
to be safe.
