"All 3 tuners in use" logic
I've had a couple of instances recently where all 3 tuners have been in use, and lovely Mrs P has wanted to use VOD. So the popup screen "all 3 recorders in use, you must stop xyz" appears. Except xyz hasn't followed the logic of lowest-priority recording.
So last night I had a play around, engineered a slot when all 3 tuners were recording a series-linked program, and I knew the pecking order of where the links were.
When VOD was attempted, it tried to drop the highest priority recording, when a manual 4th recording was attempted, it tried to drop the second one. Nowhere did number-3 get offered.
Ok, so when scheduling future recordings the logic of highest>lowest is flawless - and this is a rare scenario easily avoided. But Mrs P wants to use Sky Movies OD while I'm out at the rugby game that's recording on the sports channels, and it will be a night when there's other stuff on, and it will be a film that's not recorded...
