dual tuner: back to back recordings refuse to use second tuner.
Im hoping someone can clear up something that has annoyed me for some time with both MCE and Vista MC that Ive not noticed with any other HTPC app. Ive searched here and on the green button, and not found anyone complaining about this issue, so maybe its just me but...
When recording two programs that are back to back on the same or different channels, MC will use the same tuner to record them both, even though a second tuner is available. I use recording defaults of start 4 min before and finish 4 minutes after, but even with these defaults and two tuners in the system (both work fine, I can record two programs simultaneously or watch one and record another) MC will use the same tuner for back to back recordings. Invariably this means that the first program doesnt have its four minute padding at the end, and the second one doesnt have its 4 minutes at the start - one of them will always be missing a bit of the show.
Other HTPC apps Ive used will simply allow the two recordings to overlap by using the second tuner for the second recording. Im hoping I can force this behaviour in MC
Ive forced per recording settings for hard padding and it overcomes the issue, but its a PITA setting this for each recording manually - I want it to default to this behaviour.
Does anyione know how?
