Hi John, I too am running the bijou packages from atrpms. On Tuesday nights, I record three shows back to back on the same channel. Each one is set to record 5 minutes early and 5 minutes late. They all record on the same tuner. So your expectation of how it should work is exactly how it is working for me. To set up, I simple deleted all of my tuners, and recreated them. I see you only deleted your HDHR tuners. Somewhere I thought I saw a note that you had to delete them all for this to work - but I am not an expert on this topic :) Michael _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
