MP v1 RC1
TV via single DVB-T card

When setting two recordings on different MUX's, but following times (e.g. one from 19:00 - 20:00 and the next 20:00 - 21:00), I get a recording conflict due to the programme padding overlap.

I understand why it's doing this, but the way MCE handles it seems more logical in that it treats the overlap as an ideal rather than absolute, so in this instance will cut the recording on the hour so the receiver is released for the second recording.

Maybe an option for either way of working?

Keep up the good work, it's a fantastic system and I'm close to making the jump from MCE (which is irritating the hell out of me due to not being able to finely control what it's doing!).
