<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Absolutely - and even with those with
multiple cards its an issue where schuled compliance is poor. Here in Australia
schedules are regarded by TV networks as nothing more than an approxiamate
guide. I have a default overun of 5 minutes on all recordings and on some
shows need to override the schedule to handle a 45 minute overrun (For
some reason 'Big Brother' and other reality TV shit almost always
overruns horrendously).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Having 2 tuners is fine most of the
time if all I want to do is record 1 stream of programs:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">8:30-9:30 Ch 7 (45 minute overrun) (Tuner1)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">9:30-10:30 Ch 9 (5 minute overrun) (Tuner2)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">10:30-11:30 Ch 7.... (Tuner1)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">but even that it not guaranteed sucessful!:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">8:30-9:30 Ch 7 (45 minute overrun) (Tuner1)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">9:30-10:00 Ch 9 (5 minute overrun) (Tuner2)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">10:00-11:00 Ch 7.... ...CANT BE RECORDED...
Both tuners in use!! :-)</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">and If I want to record 2 concurrent
schedules with appropriate overruns I need how many tuners??? Thats just
plain silly.... </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">If a solution can be worked whereby
the output from one tuner can be simultanesouly written to both the previous
and next recodings file - it would be FANTASTIC....</font>
