Nah, 10 years down the road, you're still excited about those previews that you can't fastforward through... don't forget, they're still "coming soon to a theater near you"
This is my first comment ever on/., and I can't figure outhow to comment other than to reply to one that already exists... anyways..
I may be stating the obvious, but if this guy is/was running a site that hosted illegal content, WHY did he keep logs?
I can't believe he kept logs of this activity.
The Cox DVR (motorola) does this. It has two tuners and you can record on both while watching a third recorded program.
However, if there is a conflict and you are watching TV, it will prompt you. i.e. it needs to record two shows and you are waching a third channel and it can't get a hold of the second tuner.
Also, on your season recordings, you can set priorities, so if there are conflicts, it can handle them. Manual recordings, though, always take priority over season recordings.
You can do this with my cox DVR. Whether it is a one time recording of a show, or a series recording, you can choose in the preferences for THAT show whether to start early and/or end late.
You can choose something like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 minutes early, and the same for stopping late... except, for the stopping, I think you can go up to two or three hours.
You can do this per individual recording, or for the entire series.
I usually look and if a ball game is on before my show, or within a couple hours before my show, I'll set my show to record at least a half hour over.
A good solution to what I call the "ball game" problem, would be if the recorder (tivo, cable company dvr, whatever) could receive a signal from the network signifying that the show is beginning/ending, rather than starting/stopping on a time.

I have a Cox DVR that can record two channels at the same time. I haven't had any issues with the overscheduling yet.
If I tell it to record a program, and that program is from 9:00-10:01, it will record to 10:01 like it is supposed to.
