I've certainly seen this with multiple tuners.  I've also lost some
post-roll off a show because it decided to change channels..  For
example, I used to record Ed and then West Wing..  But it wouldn't
always put them on the same tuner; sometimes it would put Angel on the
tuner after Ed instead of WW...  So I'd either lose the beginning of
WW or the end of Ed.
