I dare say he was.
And a jolly fine idea too, IMO.

If the 2 cards are there and the second is not in use at the time
then
why not?
Makes sence to me.
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
MythTV will schedule both shows as desired, ignoring global
pre/post-buffering and respecting per-recording pre/post-buffering.
That is, if you have 2 consecutive shows back to back, it is likely they
will be recorded on the same card assuming they have no per-recording
pre/post-buffering. If you add per-recording pre/post-puffering, they
will be recorded on different tuners as tuners are available because the
per-recording buffers are absolute and non-optional.
