So, let's say I'm going to buy a second PVR-250.  What should I do to
ensure that 
the scheduling conflicts between two shows gets accounted for and both

cards are used?  Do I need to buffer every show I record by a minute 
or so?  I'm not second-guessing any logic, I'm just trying to determine
when 
I put a second card in that it will actually acomplish what I am 
intending for it to accomplish - record two shows that are on
consecutively, 
whether on the same channel or two different channels?  It sounds like

I can't make a global rule to always pre and post buffer by 5 minutes 
to allow for potential end-to-end recording.  I'll need to set this up
in 
each individual show.  Could I do this in the recording profiles
maybe?

I don't care about recording extra stuff.  I'll just mark everything 
from the start of recording to the start of the actual show as a
commercial 
and the same at the end.

Happy Holidays to those of you celetebrating.  Happy New Year to those

of you observing that as well...

If you don't celebrate either, enjoy the lighter workload this next
week or so!

Thanks,
Paul
