Do you have each schedule set to record 5 mins past the end of the
programme? Surely then it would do what you want? On mine one tuner
mine refuses to record consecutive programmes if there is any overlap.
I am assuming (hoping?) that now I have a second card it will record
two separate programmes (with overlap) on separate cards.
