Sorry if this is in the wrong section and if it has been asked before, I've done several searches but cannot find an answer.

I'm running MP1.4 with a Titan front end. I have 2 tuners recording UK Freeview (1 x SD+HD and 1 x SD)

I'm trying to find out exactly what the three options on the recording conflict window actually do.

The three options I am seeing are;

- Skip new recording (I assume this stops the new programme being scheduled)
- skip conflicting recording(s) (this seems to delete one of the existing recordings to allow the new one)
- keep conflict (this seems to keep the pre and post settings but allows the new recording)

Obviously where there is a channel conflict I want to leave things alone but often it is down to pre post settings, what I want to do is to reset the pre/post or post/pre settings to allow the recordings but cannot find any easy way of doing this, at the moment I have to;

- abandon the new recording
- back out of the guide
- go into scheduled
- select one of the programmes causing the conflict
- update the pre or post settings
- back out of scheduled
- go back into scheduled
- navigate back to the new recording (I schedule 24 hours in advance)
- schedule the new recording
- select keep conflicts
- then update the post or pre settings so that there is actually no conflict.

Surely there must be an easier way of doing this?

Thanks

Sorry to bump this, lots of views but no replies.

I've tried searching the forums and the documentation for information related to dealing with scheduling conflicts, but can't find anything.

Anybody able to help?

    What is there to say.
    Your assessment of what the options do is correct.
    As far as I know there is no easier way to update pre/post settings.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I'm surprised this is not provided for, I've used several other recording programmes and the system has either removed pre and post automatically or offered it as option.

    Is this something that others would want to see and if so how do I go about making a request for this?
