<div>I think you are talking about two different things:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Brad, you are talking about two shows recording at the same time on different tuners and each holding overlapping bits of other shows. This is true.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Johnny is talking about two shows back to back on the same tuner (because there is only soft padding "conflict" which does not bump the shows to a second tuner, virtual or otherwise).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And the answer is, while it is possible for a multirec type system to record the same content to different files, Myth will only do this when it bumps the shows to a second virtual tuner. So, my original statement holds true that johnny should set hard over/under record options on his recording rules to bump the programs as conflicting in the scheduler which will achieve this result.</div>
