Hi Bruce,
I don't see why that isn't checked by default!
OK, I started watching TV at 5:26 and scheduled a 30 minute
recording at 5:30. the recording started and I didn't get kicked which
is great. I'll leave them both running for 30 minutes and make sure
nothing else pops uip.
Thanks for the help.
I assume that if I scheduled a second recording that I would get
kicked since recording takes precedence over watching? I guess I can
run that experiement also.
Thanks much,
Mark
