When to say two part, do you mean a show separated by the news for example?

In the UK, films are sometimes shown in two parts, either side of the news
for example, the film often has the same title, subtitle and description,
so myth ignores the second part as a duplicate of the first. This is
nothing to do with priorities or not having enough tuners, simply a data
issue.

An override on the second showing to get it to record would solve this.

Sorry if I have mis understood your issue. A bit more info would help if so

Cheers

Martin
