[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 888772, member: 82144"] I think you forgot to attach this. ;) No bother, I'm here to help. :) I think the key in the above scenario is the overlapping analog recordings and the lack of available tuners. For the digital recording, TV Server can reuse the tuner that is already recording because it is already tuned to the same transponder. However I suspect that the same problem that you see with the analog recording would also be seen if the digital recordings were from channels on different transponders - it would be worth testing this. Does that make sense? So what seems to be happening is that the TV Server is getting stuck in a loop looking for a tuner to use for the second analog recording. It won't stop the first analog recording until it can find a tuner for the second recording... but this is a circular ("chicken and egg" - which came first) problem. I intended to build a debug version of the TV service today for you to try but I have run out of time. I will try and get this to you as soon as possible, time permitting. Until then, I think a workaround would be not to use pre/post padding on back-to-back recordings. mm [/QUOTE]
