[mythtv-users] Question, recording/watching the same channel multiple times

[Martin Moores]

This isn't a problem or issue, but I was just curious.

I have been watching a lot of Snooker on the Myth box this weekend.
Yesterday, the Snooker was being recorded from a scheduled recording,
watched on my combined FE/BE by my brother and also watched by me on my
Windows machine via MythTV Player.

So same channel, but 3 instances.  I know I could have just set a recording
going and then watched that....

So this showed in MythWeb as using 3 tuners.  My brother asked me why it
didn't just use one tuner and pump out the same recording to the various
instances.  This question got me thinking as I couldn't really answer.

So I was just curious as to how Myth handles this, does it have to record it
separately due to pausing at different points or similar?

On a slightly related question, in my frontend setup, there is an option to
over record a certain TV category, I had set "Sport" to over record by 2
hours (for Snooker, this can be very handy), but it didn't work.  Does this
option still have any effect?

Cheers

Martin
