I have found a number of times when I try to record a program but it comes back as having a conflict with previous recordings.
I have three analog tuners and have my default recordings set up with a 1 minute Post Recording pad.
The problem comes up if I had previously set to record two half hour programs one after the other on the same channel plus another on a different channel and then try to record another program during that hour period.
I should only be using two tuners during this period (one to capture the hour long program plus a second to capture the two half hour shows on the same channel) before I add in the second hour long show. Unfortunately, GBPVR blocks me from trying to record the third program during that hour unless I first cancel one of the two back to back programs, set to record the hour long program and then set to record the program that I had cancelled. GBPVR then is happy.
It seems that the only thing blocking me is that the one pminute post padding is taken by the program as a "hard" requirement. I would like to see the post padding to be a "soft" requirement is there is another program being recorded on the same channel right after the first one. True, some of the programming of the first show might "bleed" into the second but it will be there and not be lost.
