Better not go on here as it is rather OT. We have not had these problems
so perhaps we are lucky. The two machines each have two enormous disks
and all works fine. I have load balancing software which minimises
clashes. I can control the machines from anywhere in the world by
logging into my firewall and I can lie in bed and switch programs using
the web browser in my PDA. They beat the hell out of any other recorders
although a lot is down to the superb way in which TiVo index the
programs.
