Indeed. Worst case 6 when you count the overlap due to pre/postroll.

I have three power searches with the SQL:
channel.callsign = "NL1" AND program.starttime < DATE_ADD( NOW( ) ,
INTERVAL 8 HOUR )

channel.callsign = "NL2" AND program.starttime < DATE_ADD( NOW( ) ,
INTERVAL 8 HOUR )

channel.callsign = "NL3" AND program.starttime < DATE_ADD( NOW( ) ,
INTERVAL 8 HOUR )

(maybe can be wrapped into one...)

These searches have a recording priority of -99 and record to LiveTV
storage. 1 minute preroll, 1 minute post.
I limit on the starttime to avoid the scheduler calculating everything
everytime for a few days in advance which is unnecessary.

OK, cool!

Sorry but I just want to get this issue (these issues...?) looked into.
And fixing them might help you as well.

Thanks for being interested!

Kind regards,
