Dual TV Tuners And DVR Recording

It would seem that 7MC won't utilize both tuners when recording back to back programs on the same channel. What it will do is use one tuner and cut off the first program and start another recording. Its really not apparent when there is a 6 minute commercial break between programing, but it is apparent when one program ends and the next starts right up. I have played around with the "padding" under recorder defaults and have set them to 2min before and 2min after, going as far as 10min before/after trying to force the thing to switch tuners and nothing works. It simply cuts short to first program by 10mins.

I've tried playing with the "priority" settings and it seems to me that "priority" has no effect whatsoever. I've tried going into the "series settings" and having it end 5min after without the "when possible". It would seem that the "recorder defaults" over rides the series settings. I am quite sure the 2 tuners are configured correctly because I had to set them up with 2 stb and IR blasters and I can start a manual recording on channel 269 and then watch channel 5. It simply won't tune both tuners to channel 5 simultaneously. I don't remember having this problem with XP or Vista. My tuners are Happage 1850 hybrids PCIe 1x with just the analog tuners having signal. The HD broadcast tuners are open.
