Yet another option is to buy a second tuner card. Of course, that has other
advantages, too!
Or if you really wanted to do it with only one card and your wife always
wants to watch the ten o'clock news, schedule a manual 1-minute recording
for 10 PM. That will make the tuner busy without wasting (much) disk space.
Of course, if she always watches the 10 PM news, then you might as well
record it and comflag it, and turn it into the 10:20 PM news, sans
commercials!
