<div>One way that I can see (and I am no expert in the way the recordings are processed... ) is for myth to have a pre-processing step that will create markers within the recorded file. </div>
<div>Once the recording is stopped/stops, the number of actual markers can be compared to the expected, based on pre-processing info, and if they do not match Mythtv will automatically look for another instance of the program in the guide and schedule to re-record. At that point it can either re-record the entire show or start from the previous marker; possibly some minor cleanup might need to take place before that.</div>

But, somehow if you could tell myth to record the same show but start where you stopped, but have it start 5 minutes before you stopped, that way it doesn't miss anything...that would be cool...then to have it merge the recordings so that you don't have to worry about two recordings...that would be cool. It would then delete out the cut points before merging so you don't have interlapping portions of the program.</font></span></div>

<div><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">What i'd like to see is to somehow be able to specify a time slot to always leave one of your tuners free. My wife loves to watch live tv at a certain time each day, usually for around 45 minutes to an hour and a half...She has to cancel recordings often during that time in order to watch tv, so if myth just dind't schedule recordings during that period, tv would be free for her, and the schedule would adjust and record those movies/shows at other times.</font></span></div>

For some odd reason ( e.g major newsbreak) I need to watch live tv around 6:30, I am assuming that my recording will be interrupted once I switch to livetv. How can I set Mythtv to find the next broadcast of the scheduled recording and resume the interrupted recording at the point where it was previously stopped? Is that even possible? If not wouldn't that be a great use case? </blockquote>
