[QUOTE="rileydogmi, post: 1103544, member: 149974"] Thanks so much for the detailed post - yes, I had the settings for pre and post record set to 1 minute each in the TS server settings - but after I posted this request, I looked in the recordings window and sure enough, some episodes had 7 minutes pre and I think 10 post - I have no idea how those got that way, but regardless I changed them all to be 0 pre and 0 post. Thanks so much for the tip on the DirecTV SHEF -- I am going to do that now and give it another day to record a bunch of programs. I appreciate the help! I feel like I am very close to having this working well for my needs. I will report back tomorrow with the results.[DOUBLEPOST=1412815562][/DOUBLEPOST]Sorry to bother but I do have two additional questions 1) Why is MP scheduling recordings on TV Stations that I do not have mapped to the guide? See the enclosed screen shots - Modern family is on channel 386 and 396 but I do not have those stations available to the guide. I looked at the guide and they don't show (expected), but why are recordings occurring against unmapped channels?[ATTACH=full]156017[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]156018[/ATTACH] 2) How do I deal with recording conflicts? When I used SageTV, there was a conflict scene that allowed me to choose what won. Is there anything comparable to this in MP? Thanks again, [/QUOTE]
