Recordings seem to generally have a built-in padding of 1 minute before and after the show.


When you record 2 shows on the same channel back-to-back, this padding can only be added onto one of the shows..


Wouldn't it be better if the that overlapping minute was saved into both shows?

I think that's a great idea. It shouldn't be any problem for the UTV to duplicate these minutes on the hard drive.

I have noticed if the UTV does not need the 2nd tuner it the time it already does this. Obviously you can't be watching or recording a second channel this to happen since it currently uses both tuners to get this padding. The code changes needed to send the same tuner stream to two recordings is probably non trivial. I guess we could "add it to the list"

i'm kind of guessing it's nontrivial too


but i did not notice that it did this even when my receiver was off before the whole recording started (I went away for the weekend after setting it to record 2 shows back to back on the same channel, and came back and the last minute of the first show was chopped off and stuck onto the beginning of the next one)


hm

maybe i left it on that weekend by mistake
