Hmm, this might explain why I sometimes get conflicts for recordings
even when I would have tuners left.

For example, wanting to record 5 things in parallel, having 2x3
recordings set (2 cards with 3 recs each) and I get a conflict ... this
was leading me to my question!

I was (and am) afraid to silently miss recordings if I set that value
too high ...

So would I be safe anyway with a setting of 3 (and just get a conflict
as mentioned)? Or should I go for "2"?

Thanks! Stefan
