So, let's say I'm going to buy a second PVR-250. What should I do to ensure that the scheduling conflicts between two shows gets accounted for and both cards are used? Do I need to buffer every show I record by a minute or so? I'm not second-guessing any logic, I'm just trying to determine when I put a second card in that it will actually acomplish what I am intending for it to accomplish - record two shows that are on consecutively, whether on the same channel or two different channels? It sounds like I can't make a global rule to always pre and post buffer by 5 minutes to allow for potential end-to-end recording. I'll need to set this up in each individual show. Could I do this in the recording profiles maybe? I don't care about recording extra stuff. I'll just mark everything from the start of recording to the start of the actual show as a commercial and the same at the end. Happy Holidays to those of you celetebrating. Happy New Year to those of you observing that as well... If you don't celebrate either, enjoy the lighter workload this next week or so! Thanks, Paul
