A related comment:  It would be cool if myth noticed that these were
on the same channel, and copied the incoming data from a single
capture card to two output files simultaneous for the 10 minutes
from 7:55 to 8:05...  I seem to have several cases were only one
of two adjacent shows on the same channel get recorded, since I
have recording specific start/end times.
