And have you stopped to consider the complications involved in that ?

How do you schedule it ? Do you just record one version if to tie up 
two inputs would create a conflict ? How do you decide which one to 
record and which to pass on - that's the fundamental problem here ? 
What about a program broadcast at different times for the same 
program in different qualities ?

I think the task of scheduling recordings is complicated enough as it is !

I suspect far easier to either schedule it to record from the HD 
channel (at least in the UK, the HD channels on Free[view|sat] are 
different to the SD ones), or let it record all occurances (which 
would then leave the user to weed out the duplicates later).

WANTED: "Software CD ROM Kit" for Canon CLBP 360-PS printer (Canon 
part no RH6-3612, or possibly RH6-3810, or RH6-3610 might do). I've a 
dead HD and need this CD so I can replace the disk and re-install the 
printer OS on it. If anyone knows where I might get hold of one I'd 
be grateful - requests to Canon drew a blank, it's been out of 
support for years.
Alternatively, if anyone has one of these and would let me image 
their hard disk ...
