[BC] Regarding Interruptions

[Robert Meuser]

Mine can record 2 channels and play one simultaneously as well.  I have 
cable card to do the dreaded live viewing when both record channels are 
tied up as well.  Problem is that ABC often offsets one minute so a show 
starts at 901 and ends at 1001 as an example. If you have 2 shows set to 
record 9 to 10 and 2 more 10 to 11, The ABC offset will kill one of the 
10-11 shows. I have seen NBC pull this off on occasion as well.
