Oh - now I remember why we don't "just record everything" - Mike, take a single tuner and setup two shows to record back-to-back, then, on another channel, record another show at the same time....see what Myth does (using 0.26 or any 0.25)<br>
<br>
Your (and other's) method would only work once that is fixed.<br>

I'll need a better hint at what you're saying doesn't work. Recording everything I might possibly want to watch works for me--which is why I have nearly 3 months of recorded TV (more than I will ever watch).<br>
<br>
And, FWIW, my "method" is, if you care enough to watch a show, tell MythTV you care to watch the show and it will take care of recording it for you.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>I can't believe all the anti-live-tv sentiment here. There are plenty of reasons to watch live tv where scheduled recordings don't make much sense:</div><div><br></div><div>1. background noise: I tune in to CNN while I work and just leave it on most of the day with the volume low.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. severe weather: If I notice things are looking particularly bad, I tune in to one of the local networks to see if they are saying anything about it... may need to scan a few channels to find one that didn't just finish talking about it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3. breaking news: If I hear about something major going on, I flip through the major networks/news channels to see if anyone is reporting it.</div><div><br></div><div>4. a change of pace: I have a couple of dozen shows I record... but sometimes I want something different/new so I channel hop, watching a few minutes of this or that until I find something that keeps my interest.</div>
<div><br></div><div>5. KIDS!! I don't know about your family, but my kids will watch just about anything that airs on Disney and Nick... if I told them that live tv wasn't an option, they'd give me a list a mile long of shows they want recorded... I'd have two tuners running around the clock recording stuff for the couple of hours /week they actually watch tv. Far better to just let them watch what is on, they don't complain, and I don't burn disk space needlessly. I just record a couple of their favorites so they always have something... just in case.</div>
