[mythtv-users] Recording overlap on same channel

[Ralph Little]

Hi,
This is either a request for help or a feature request. :D

I record Star Trek Enterprise on Sundays in the UK. 
2 episodes are broadcast one after the other on Channel 4.

However, because of clock skew etc, it is impossible to get each recording in completeness because a bit of one might be tagged onto the end of the other, and because I have only 1 encoder, can't schedule them to overlap, one ending a little later, the other a little earlier to cope with clock differences, or the broadcasts being late/early.

However, in theory this should be possible as long as the 2 recordings are on the same channel. It's just that the same piece of video would end up in 2 records with some jiggery-pokery to make it happen.

Therefore, is it possible to arrange for consecutive recordings on the same channel to overlap and to not cause a conflict?

Cheers,
Ralph
