A question about recording settings and priorities. Tonight I had the
following situation. My system has 2 tuner cards.
Program 1 runs from 7.00 - 9.00 on channel 10
Program 2 runs from 7.30 - 8.30 on channel 7
Program 3 runs from 8.30 - 9.30 on channel 9
Setup->TV Settings->General - Time to record past end of show = 600 seconds
All shows are equal priority.
My thought was that Program 1 would tape first, taking up tuner card 1
until 9.10. Program 2 would kick off at 7.30, taking up tuner card 2
until 8.40.
Program 3 would therefore not be recorded as both tuner cards are in use.
However I find the following in my log -

Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious? I only installed the
second tuner this weekend so I haven't really messed with it that
much.
OK, summarizing my understanding of the situation: Myth recorded
programs 2 and 3 instead of programs 1 & 2. Assuming everything else
you described is correct (priorities, etc.), then perhaps progam 1
occurs again at a future time. If so, Myth realized that if it recorded
programs 1 and 2, it won't be able to record program 3, but since
program 1 re-airs, it decided to record a future showing.
