[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 1006487, member: 111675"] Thank you - much appreciated. I did think that what I was after was a bit of a step-up from what currently was available. Having read the Wiki, I note that TV Server will keep going through the TV Tuners in order until it can do what it wants (i.e. a free multiplex to make a recording or stream live TV). It appears that it does this in isolation to other subsequent schedules so once it have linked a recording to a particular tuner, it is locked on unless you delete it. Do you think that potentially a plugin might be another way forward to allow the Server to work out what the best thing to do is? I do seem to remember that WMC used to scan the EPG and flag up repeats of a particular program on not only that channel but others as well (if you set a recording, it would show a little symbol next to every repeat showing in the EPG) - if there was a clash, it pointed out that one of the scheduled programs was available elsewhere and let you choose which of all the available repeats to record. For the time being, I guess my only way round the problem is to buy more tuner cards or make sure that I record all more recordings early in the morning and avoid the dreaded prime-time slot when all the good stuff seems to be on at the same time.
