Where abouts did you get this idea from?
It's wrong anyway
VM can record two channels (with 2 tuners) and pause/rewind with the 3rd tuner

It's designed to work that way
where you can have a problem is where you have two consequtive recordings on same channel & third recording on another channel - V+ tries to overlap the consequtive recordings (e.g. record three things at once) which it cant do
feel sure this issue was fixed in an update some time ago

With the overlap of the program recordings on tuner 3 (even though they're end to end) this can cause recordings to fail. I've seen it fail on mine but i've also seen it work so haven't worked out the critical factor yet.

You've introduced another variable now (the overlap)
suffice it to say V+ can record 2 things and still pause with 3rd tuner
