programmes where Mythtv has used the same tuner and cutover exactly on the
scheduled time and completely ignoring the usual padding settings (extra
recording time). Is there a setting somewhere to make Mythtv honour the
extra time on back to back recordings? I have both multiple tuners and
MultiRec setup, so lack of tuners is not a problem.

If I'm reading the OP correctly you're/he's using two separate OS's and I
assume two separate machines. If so, why not use MythTV on both machines,
master and slave back ends, with six physical tuners and up to 24 virtual
tuners, and only two multiplex streams, although I have no real experience
here, in theory I can't see Myth having any scheduling problems here with
plenty of padding. Am I off track here? Or can anyone else confirm this
idea?
