Thanks for pointing out that thread. I'd started to read it but it wasn't really relevant at the start so I didn't get all the way to the end. Seems crazy that I have a second tuner sitting completely unused while the box chops off the end of a program so it can use only one tuner. Also seems crazy that I have a global setting (most convenient - means I don't have to faff around with early/late settings for each recording) and then that option is chucked away when it needn't be. Sigh. So, my options are: 1) Set overrun-underrun settings for *each* recording manually and forget all about the global ones. 2) Wait for a patch - unlikely to get into CVS I would guess. 3) Learn C++ and write my own patch. Oh well. -- Neil Milne
