This looks excellent. When I changed from recording on a Windows PC to recording on RPi (less power consumption for an always-on computer), I had to switch to TVHeadend which does a good job but has a couple of deficiencies:
- lack of GUI EPG (table of programmes as channels versus times/dates): not as easy to see overlapping programmes with a long list of events on all channels
- lack of intelligent handling of overlaps: it can't tell you when you first schedule the overlapping programme, only when it actually tries (and fails) to record it, which is very naive
These are things that NPVR did very well - certainly on Windows.
When I've got some time, and when my Pi isn't busy recording anything on TVHeadend, I'll give it a try.
