That is what recording groups (iirc the nomenclature) are for.

Resource-wise and complexity-wise you are much better with to linked
co-operating backends.  They will much better cover your combined
recording requirements. Indeed, 4 tuners for a single household I would
think is overkill if all tuners are put to the task of all recording
requirements.  But I digress.

Recording groups lets you group recordings together so that you choose
your group, you see your recordings and she does the same -- no clutter
from the other's recordings.  You can even have a common group for stuff
you both watch and first one to watch it pushes it to the others group
so they know to delete it when they have watched it.
