Padding/multiple tuners/same channel

[kevbo]

I've been experimenting with the new scheduling algorithms in the newest release, and they look good. I've noticed that if I have one show recording on a channel, and wish to record the following show, it will use both tuners during the overlap, which is pretty cool.

The only furthur suggestion I could make is in the situation where I then want to record a third show.

Let me try to explain:

Channel A 12:30-1:00 1:00-1:30
Channel B 1:00-1:30

All have the usual 1 minute pre, 2 minutes post padding.

Now, what I saw GB-PVR do at 12:59 was have both tuners on Channel A. At 1:00, one of them switched to Channel B. Which is great: I didn't miss anything, but the show on Channel B didn't get any pre-padding, which maybe it could have, since there wasn't exactly any need to be recording Channel A twice.

Make sense? At 12:59, the show on Channel B could have started its pre-padding, and the show on A would just stay normal. At 1:00, the show on A would switch files to the new show...basically, the shows on A would lose their post padding and pre padding when they run up against each other, which is fine, because the padding exists in the other file.

Maybe this is just too silly.

Anyways, thanks,
