If the two programs are on the same channel, only the one tuner will be used, the end of the first program will be on the file for the second program. Sure, it's recorded ... until you edit or delete the second program to discover that you also lost the last bit of the first one. Bummer!
I haven't seen it do this for two consecutive programs recorded from different channels. I'll try that one out.
This sounds like a bug the more I think about it.

What I'm proposing is this. Currently if a recording goes from 8pm to 9:01pm and another goes from 9:00pm to 10:00pm, the second will not be recorded (assuming 1 tuner) because of the overlap. I'd like the scheduler, at 9:01pm, to recognize that program 2 is only 1 minute into the show and start recording it when the tuner becomes available despite the 1 minute overlap resulting in 1 minute missing from the second show. I don't like setting the "record late" option on program 2 because it will *always* record late even when there is no conflict.
In an earlier discussion on this it was stated that when there's an overlap like this it stops recording the 1st one automatically and starts recording the 2nd at the time the 2nd is due to start - even if the 1st one was supposed to run on. So, if that's correct it already does what you're proposing except that it doesn't wait for the tuner to become available. I think we need to get a firm statement on just what does happen in this circumstance.
Of course the sure-fire solution is to get a 2nd tuner card!
