Ah, I think I get what you mean. It buffers up to 3 tuners as you flip channels. So from an initial state, turn on channel 101 and tuner 1 starts buffering. Flip to channel 102 and tuner 2 starts buffering. Flip to 103 and tuner 3 starts buffering. Flip to 104 and tuner 1 resets buffer and starts buffering on 104.

So if at that point a program needs recording, does it really nag you that it's going to stop buffering on 102 and 103?!? That sounds very annoying. It should just record.

Update: as Don just clarified, this seems to be right. But still would like the nag aspect clarified.
