I don't know about the rest of the world but TV start/end times in NZ are incredibly unreliable. This means that if I tape two programs in a row often the end of program one is recorded at the start of program two. It would be nice If you could record two subsequent programs to one file whereby the recording is named "Joey & Scrubs" or similar.
My current work arounds for this are either to schedule Joey to record with a 40 minute post padding and then remember I taped both or to simply watch joey and then the last few minutes at the start of scrubs. The only problem with this is when you tape two subsequent programs where one of them is not a regular so you later forget they were subsequent so you then don't notice that program B is tacked to the end of program A - or you watch program A and then miss the climatic last 5 minutes of the program thinking you missed taping it when actually its sitting at the start of program B.
Hope my ramblings make sense - essentially the ability to hold CTRL and tag two programs or similar two combine the recordings to one video file with a name that reminds you it was done.
Anyone else got thoughts on this problem?
