This is really, really weird.
I told npvr to record 2 shows @ 8, and 2 shows at 9.
My tuner is a HR prime with 3 tuners.
Usually, it would use one tuner per show.
This time around, it used 1 tuner for 2 shows, verified by what status was showing, AND going to the prime's status page, and looking at the tuner info. Only 1 tuner was in use!
So, I figured it was a bug, so I stopped 1 show, and then did a quick record.
It was still using 1 tuner for BOTH shows.
Looking at the files, yeah, they were both being written to, AND the data was different.
It was indeed the shows it was supposed to record.
At 9, status showed *4* shows on 1 tuner. The prime still had 1 LED on for tuner status, so again, it was using 1 tuner, but this time with 4 shows. (the end of the first two, and the start of the next two).
They were on the same channel though, so, in reality, it was still only 2 channels on 1 tuner.
Yes, all vids show all the content it was supposed to.
I am really confused on how this can happen, is there a secret way to record off the prime so it doesn't show tuner status at all ?
Right now, while this is going on, it is showing this,for tuner status:
the other two tuners show:

So, what magic is this ?
