I've (at least temporarily) gone back to Snapstream, because their web interface gives me the ability to set a manual recording to a specific minute. I could not program tonight's Happy Days reunion and ER, because ER starts at 8:59, not 9:00. With BeyondTV I made Happy Days a manual recording from 7:00 to 8:59 to resolve the conflict.
I don't have room for a second tuner card, nor am I inclined to buy one just so I can record two shows at once. If I actually wanted two from the same time slot, then fine, but not for a 60-second overlap.
Maybe this belongs on the Wish List forum, but there should be some way to resolve a 1-minute or 5-minute conflict like this. Maybe end one show early, or start the other late, rather than have to cancel one of them altogether.
BTW, NBC does this specifically to destroy our ability to do what we (and a jillion Tivo users) are doing.
