[mythtv-users] recording TV shows that get delayed by the Networks

[James Abernathy]

Usually on the Sunday NFL football late afternoon game, it will run long and will force the prime-time lineup to slip each program for 10-45 minutes. What I'm doing now is setting each program on CBS's 17-1 OTA channel to stop recording 45 minutes after the scheduled stop.

The nice thing about this is you always have 1 recording per show, but you may have to fast forward to get to the start of it.

So this got me thinking what are the additional burdens put on the backend.  Obviously more disk space is used. More cpu is used to record the same 17-1 tuner for 2 shows at once.

But what about the tuners? I have a HDHR Quatro configured for a maximum number of recordings per tuner as 2. So my system looks like it has 8 tuners, but I've only really tested this feature with the sub channels on the same channel. i.e. 5-1, 5-2, 11-1, 11-2 at the same time.

Depending on the answer to that question what would happen if I was configured to on 1 maximum recording per tuner?
