sorry, forgot to mention, i'm already using trunk.
currently i'm use 5 (max) records per tuner, but the scheduler still use 
both cards for two recordings on same transponder. Perhaps if there was 
a third recording on different transponder he will use same card twice. 
But i want to save tuner resources to allow livetv furthermore.
