Will take a look at that when I get home, thanks. I remember seeing an email on this list regarding settings for AGP. I'll take a look there too.

TVwish is software that schedules recordings based on a wishlist. This means that you can land up with a whole bunch of stuff being scheduled and recorded (and transcoded). Makes it hard to not have anything happening at any given time, which is why I thought that maybe I was just lucky (since I found a lull).
