Linked Recordings (Subsequent)

One of my annoyances thats a sideeffect of this GREAT technology is when you record two subsequent programs and the Channell is a little off time you get the start of program two at the end of program one - not a big problem if you remember this and don't delete program one when you've watched it thereby erasing the start of program two. The annoyance comes that it seems EVERY time I tape Joey and scrubs - Joey runs late so the recording stops and starts momentarilly and in the mean time I miss a crucial punchline at the end of the show (Murphys law) - what I tend to do to solve this is tape Joey with a 35 minute overlap at the end to grab scrubs as well. What I would LOVE is the ability to somehow tape two shows in the same recording and name it JOEY & SCRUBS_20050504_20302130.mpg or similar so I don't forget its both.

With two tuners could I tape two things on the same channel with a tuner each with a 5 minute either side for both??? I always like to overlap 5 minutes eitherway as you never know when the broadcaster will stuff you around and the HDD space and skipping the start are no big price to pay.

jep, it works this way.
last monday i recorded two subsequent shows on the same channel (with the standard 5 min pre and post-padding).

cause of this 5 minutes overlapping, the first show was recorded using the pvr-350, the second using the 150. --> ergo: the last 5 min of recording 1 were identical to the last 5 min of recording two *g*

Awesome - oh well - I guess my new card will solve my niggle - Still a thought for people with one tuner tho to be able to join two recordings to one with double barrell named mpeg.

It would be a tad annoying, but you could just do a manual recording and name it the way you wanted. It's certainly not as nice as using the guide to set the recording, but it would work. Annoying, but effective.
