It is not unknown for programs to end 30 minutes late. On the other hand, sometimes programs can start up to 5 minutes early. Argggh! This would be OK if they kept the schedule constant, but lately the schedule seems to have major changes week by week. Even I am loosing track of what programs are on what nights, how do I expect my computer to do so? ;-) Glenn> 2: The "low-level" approach: Allow the output from one Glenn> tuner to be fed into two files during the overlap Glenn> period.

I really like this idea. It would mean I could set peak period shows to record 20 minutes late and not have to worry if that program overlaps with another program on the same channel on a particular day of a odd week. This is my major issue with mythtv at the moment. I will post details of my other issue (less serious) in another thread. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
