I'd like to chip in my tuppence worth on this topic 2, i've quoted from MarcusB's posts and would love to see this feature reinstated. Often if i'm going to be at work i'll set 2 shows in a row to record (i have a pvr150 and a skystar2 so cant record the same channel on 2 different tuners a la the PVR500). I use the post and pre record of 3 minutes as shows have a habit here of not running to time. This works great for the first show and ensures i have a nice buffer, but of course it occasionally records the first minute of the next show in the post record section. I then have to be careful and not to delete my first recording as it contains some of my second show. I know i could reduce the default pre post record options but then i run the risk if the channel is running late of missing something. If it really is straightforward to place the same mpeg twice on the hard drive and essentially have the pre and post record buffers available on both files i'd really appreciate this being reinstated as a standard feature of recorded TV.

[QUOTE="mdsflyer, post: 46706, member: 16262"] I'd like to chip in my tuppence worth on this topic 2, i've quoted from MarcusB's posts and would love to see this feature reinstated. Often if i'm going to be at work i'll set 2 shows in a row to record (i have a pvr150 and a skystar2 so cant record the same channel on 2 different tuners a la the PVR500). I use the post and pre record of 3 minutes as shows have a habit here of not running to time. This works great for the first show and ensures i have a nice buffer, but of course it occasionally records the first minute of the next show in the post record section. I then have to be careful and not to delete my first recording as it contains some of my second show. I know i could reduce the default pre post record options but then i run the risk if the channel is running late of missing something. If it really is straightforward to place the same mpeg twice on the hard drive and essentially have the pre and post record buffers available on both files i'd really appreciate this being reinstated as a standard feature of recorded TV.
