I tried this on the new system I just built and was planning on using for the family DVR. It added one tuner and it did reuse the tuners and overlapped the recordings. I had 6 shows recording at once and they shared the data. Yay!
Then just tried the experiment again the next day and it used a different tuner for the overlap. One difference between tests was that I added my second tuner to the system. Is there a bug maybe that is triggered for more than one tuner that it tries to spread out the workload even though I’m already recording the channel? On my previous experiment with the original PMS I added both tuners and then removed one of them and tried testing if it reuses a tuner for an overlap and ran into my issue. Now the new system worked when I only added one Hdhomerun and I think it broke when I added a second
