That would be nice, but that's still no help when one programme overruns,
and begins to overlap with another in your schedule. - Until they bring out
a version with 2 tuners allowing recording of 2 channels at once, however
you handle scheduling the recordings will not get round this basic problem.
- then you still have to decide which recording gets priority? - one way or
another you're going to miss either the end of one show, or the beginning
of
the next....
