No, because there is no concept of "same priority" in TIVO. You have to prioritise your series links in the management screen. That then determines priority of recordings. As I said in my post last night, if the 22.00 show has a higher priority then it will clip lower priority padding. However, your worst case scenario is that the 22.00 show is lower priority than both 21.00 recordings, in which case you will lose the first 5 minutes of the 22.00 show.
The only scenario I'm not sure about is if all 3 recordings are on-offs in which case I'm not sure if they are all equal priority. The logical way to do that is that the later recording gets the priority and clips off padding on the previous. One to test out I guess.
I think we're all in agreement that the V+ system is preferable. It may be that in the US padding is far less important because they have so many damn adverts ! It's only BBC stuff over here that frequently runs over the hour.
