Only if you want to record both shows to one file. But since the overlap
would normally be relatively short it shouldn't be a problem to keep one
file per recording and simply send the output to both files for the duration
of the overlap. You'd waste a bit of disk space, but so what? Then the
difficult development work would just be the scheduler changes, and the
Multirec capability that's just been added is very similar in requirements
so I think there is some hope this will get implemented.

Cheers,
Steve
