><br></div>OK - this makes sense. So, if I have my default recording settings set<br>to start a recording 5 minutes before and 3 minutes after, the software<br>is not smart enough to figure out that on the same channel, this<br>
shouldn't matter, and that this is the reason it wanted to hog the<br>second PVR-150 card. Sound right? And if so, could I just fix this in<br>the future by setting the start time to "0" minutes before and "0"<br>
minutes after?<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Just a thought but is might be worth a try. <br></div></div><br>Tim<br>
