In the scope of the problem it doesn't actually matter as each channel is being sent to the next tuner, which it shouldn't as I 
understand it.  It should only go to the next tuner when its on a new multiplex.

Only three.  (48, 50 and 59)  With it working three tuners should be enough for recording all Freeview channels simultaneously, 
hardware limits possibly relevant here.  (Hence why I say "scope of the problem")

>And when you say 'overlapping' do you mean 'simultaneous'? Or one
following another but with overlap to catch extra at beginning and
end?

The specifics are TV1, 2, C4,Maori all from 8.30 and Prime at 8.35 onwards...  Does that help?  TV1 is deemed to overlap and seems 
to have a system assigned recording priority of -1!  All my mythweb recording priorities default to 0.
