[mythtv-users] Re; HDHR won't record two shows simultaneously

[Jon Boehm]

I may have experienced this problem too.  If 2 recordings start at the same
time and one of the OTA locks is iffy it ~can~ take out both recordings.
My first gen never has this problem but my HDTC-2US does.  I blamed SD as
that model has had problems from the beginning.
