Dynamic EPG so when there are last minute changes to programme times they still record correctly

Priority settings are a useful device, but sometimes all the programmes (particularly on certain evenings at 9 pm) are priorities.

Additionally, you must remember that it is not always foreseeable as to which programmes will overrun, causing a conflict that is not anticipated.

Indeed OB as sometimes there are 5 good programmes at 9 pm and sometimes there is no way out of it and that's why 5 or 6 tuners would sort out the problems full stop.

I only had two tuners and always got around clashes , I now have four and the ability to watch a fifth however shows on the pay channels repeat that often you can always avoid clashes.

Yes that's correct.

Well this morning l had 5 recordings set for 10 pm tonight but sadly for two of them l cannot find another allocated time slot for the programmes as its the last time they being shown sadly MM so in my humble view extra tuners are definitely needed.

Good stuff. I hope you enjoy it; it certainly looks to be a very good system.

l got round the last one 11.22.63 MM so then l was left with 5 recordings set at the same time and l can't use a time shift channel as there are things recording at those times so sadly l am up the creek without a paddle it seems.

I can't get Boxnation in HD, the PPV boxing on SKY Box Office is not in HD, can't get Spike TV which shows boxing plus I don't think Virgin have FOTV which shows 2 Golden Boy promotion events live each month for free. I'm not going to waste my breath mentioning the other SKY basic channel...

Are any of those on the main Freeview channels that have catchup? That could be an option?
