[mythtv-users] 2 min Overlap - Cannot record - Help

[Albert Graham]

James,

Thanks for that, will try it very soon (before next week :)),

So basically, what you're saying is by ending it early, the "scheduler" 
will recalculate the surrounding conflicts and then know it can record 
the second program ?

 >You could even split the difference with 1 minute early/1 minute

Simple, but I like that idea :)

Thanks.

Albert.
