My Zgemma H7S is running OpenVIX 5.3.026 (Release).

Is there any way I can have it that my recordings start 2 minutes early and end 3 minutes late and recording two programs from the same TV channel that occur immediately one after another does not tie up two tuners?

For instance if both TV programs are on a channel that's only available on satellite it should at no point need to force both satelllite tuners to tune to that channel and interrupt me watching something else on another satellite channel - yet it does.
