I've noticed that when I have several recordings scheduled back-to-back on the same channel that padding gets dropped from the "middle" shows due to the same tuner being used for all the recordings. Is this a bug or has the recording logic changed since GBPVR? GBPVR would switch to a different tuner for each show but NPVR thinks no other tuners are available (2 more are). All the tuners are working as I have no problem recording 3 shows simultaneously across all 3 tuners.
The server has 3 analog tuners, one on a PVR-150 and two on a PVR-500. The EPG's for them are cloned and they all have the same channels configured.
As a test I searched through the EPG yesterday to find four 30-minute shows in a row, then scheduled them to record (Channel 39) At timeline 2012-01-30 12:29 you can see that NPVR thinks there are no other tuners available, even though 2 of the 3 tuners have nothing currently scheduled. The error message "Recording due to start pre-padding, but tuner not available" is listed. Logs attached.
