It looks like that for the HD-PVR the "Max Recordings" and "Schedule as
Group" configuration items are missing.
The default values are not correct for the HD-PVR. This is a bug.
Until this is fixed changing the configured values in the database needs
some SQL.

If my analysis is correct then your backend will fail when you have
scheduled two (or more) simultaneous recordings from the same multiplex;
the recordings are then scheduled on the same HD-PVR.
Can you please try this?

Thanks,
Klaas.
