</div>But won't this cause conflicts with the scheduler if I have two shows<br>
back to back? Sadly, when I have more than one recording in a night,<br>
they are often at the same time on different channels with one or more<br>
at previous hour. That usually eats up my tuners.<br></blockquote><div><br>Have a look at 'Time to record before show' in the 'General' section of the frontend config.<br><br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Frontend#General_2">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Frontend#General_2</a> <br>
</div></div><br>This will allow you to start recording early without altering the recording schedules, so if two shows are back to back you'll not have any issues, should be able to start recording with enough time to let your HDs spin up.<br>
