Pinza you had this problem with the Bell PVR?
I had the Bell 9200 and it never had this problem. When it set a recording it was creating a unique event, a record in a schedule recording table. I would always tape two shows with generic info back to back without any issue. An example would be to set recording one from 9-9:30, set next recording from 9:30-10.
As soon as I switched to rogers and picked up the 8300 I was so angry that it didn't support this primary basic function. When setting recording schedules each recording should be a unique event. And then you set recording 1, set recording 2 and then it would erase recording 1. Very frustrating.
I don't know why SA/Cisco/Rogers has not fixed this in the 7 years the 8300 has been on the market. Now I have the Rogers 8642 and it has the same issue as well.
Only in 2010 did their latest firmware allow the time to be extended for a custom time recording (without losing the custom time setting the next week).
It's such a basic function, you would think out of the millions of customers multiple people would have complained about it.
