Synopsis::

False record programme conflict

Before I start I must say that I think MP is just great !!!!

I this problem has been reported before and if what I read is correct, fixed. any on the problem, as can be seen from above I

have two tuner cards 1 dual analogue and the other single dvb, I also have a settop box (Telewest) connected to the first

tuner of the analogue card, now tonight I would like to record :-

Sky One (telewest) 9.00 - 10.00 A town Called Eureka
Sky One (telewest) 10.00 - 11.00 The 4400
BBC1 10.45 - 12.15 Proms 2006

Now because of problems with Pre-record - Post-record I set up a manual recording of Sky One for two hours, if I just select

the recordings from the guide I miss the the first 5 minutes of "The 4400", but I can live with this.
I then select the "Proms 2006" from the guide to record, but when I check the scheduled recordsings it states that there is a

conflict with the above recordings. Now how can this be as all three tuners can rx BBC1!!
The strange thing is that if I select over lapping recordings of any channels NOT on settop box there is never any conflicts.

At the moment I have these Priorities
Tuner 1 (which is connected to settop box) = 1
Tuner 2 = 3
Tuner 3 DVB = 1
I set these priorities the belief that any analogue recordings would pick tuner 1 first thus leaving tuner 2 free for settop

channels, I have tried changing these with little or no effect to the above problem.

Hope someone can help?

Thanks for all the replies and help so far.

Here is the state things, I still get conflict messages on trying to record anything from settop box and any analogue station, so I tried doing a manual record i.e.

Pressed record while watching Sky One (record current programme)
Changed channel to BBC 1 and pressed record again (record current programme)
Changed channel again to Chanel 4 and pressed record again (record current programme).

Which meant that I was recording an external signal on Tuner 1 , recording BBC1 on tuner 2 and recording Channel 4 on DVB T tuner, without any problems. After they had record I checked the recording and everthing was OK, the problem resolved itself???
NO!! on checking the Scheduled Recordings it stated that the three records were at Conflict with each other even though it had recorded them OK.
So it seems I have a bug or is it the way I have things set up as it appears that I am the only one with this problem !!
