Thanks, but I'm looking for a non-monetary solution, even if it results
in some of my shows getting recorded with lower quality.  This is for a
secondary backend. I'm just trying to add parallel recording capability
to resolve some conflicts.  The key requirement is "no money".  If the
answer is, "can't do it", then I just stick with my one high quality
back end and deal with not being able to record multiple shows at once.
