[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 914479, member: 82144"] No problem. :) One tuner should be used. It is possible to record any number of sub channels with one tuner (within the constraints of HDD speed) as long as the sub channels are all carried on the same [physical] channel. Shouldn't be a problem subject to the comments above. As an example, say your wife wants to record show A on channel X from 7pm 'til 8pm (5 min pre + post recording) and show B on channel Y from 8pm 'til 8:30pm (also 5 min pre + post recording). That should be possible with one tuner if channels X and Y are carried on the same physical channel. In addition to recording A and B, it is also possible to record show C on channel X from 8pm to 8:30pm (ie. back-to-back on the same subchannel) with pre and post recording and still only one tuner. What happens if you have only one tuner and back-to-back recordings on subchannels that are carried on different physical channels? TV Server will finish recording the show on the first channel, including post-recording. Once the tuner is available, it will immediately attempt to start recording the show on the other channel. So you would miss the pre record + the length of the post record from the first show at the start of the recording of the second show. Make sense? mm [/QUOTE]
