I don't do a lot of recording so I don't know if this is new or not but...
when two or three recordings are set on a single satellite for a single day it records the first one properly but removes the others without recording. There is plenty of space on the NTFS drive and it records correctly as long as there is only one recording set at a time - if there are three recordings on the drive when a new timer is set, it is added as expected.
Can anyone tell me what to do differently?

Unfortunately, North American FTA broadcasters do not implement EPG like the majority of the world's other satellite service providers. If EPG was provided, this would not be an issue. So yes, you are correct about us NA FTA users needing a work around.
I typically start a second timer one minute early and extend the initial recording by one minute whenever possible. If recording multiple shows are back to back on the same transponder, I just make a single recording that includes all shows. Easy enough to split recordings if I want to archive.
I really have found this to be a minor timer issue compared to the efforts by broadcasters to capture the surfing viewers... More and more broadcasters are choosing not to keep the shows within the time slots and DVR users have to adjust event timers outside of the top and half hour start/stop times.
In FTA there seems to rarely be anything that works automatically! We are either not the targeted recipient so the broadcaster uses unique playout techniques or dealing with mediocre quality productions and inept scheduling.
We need to be smarter than the machine. Control the machine... Don't let the machine control you!

To make a statement that the microHD isn't suitable for recording is an asinine statement. You complain about no work around, so I provided an example of how I control the machine to overcome the timer limitation.
The microHD does a great job at DVR. It doesn't trump the Visionsat's DVR functions, but it is the most reliable FTA DVR that I have used. There is a reason that it is my primary recorder for my home system.
Cyberham, we are talking about a manual timer, aren't we? The user is free to start or stop the timers in one minute intervals and only one event can be triggered within the same minute. With the absence of an EPG, every timer is a manual setting that requires the user to set a start time and a duration.
I really don't understand your issue with setting a manual timer. If you manually set a timer to start at 3:00pm, why not set to start at 2:59pm if you wish to give your recording an extra minute before the top of the hour?
If you have an issue with trying to remember to set a timer one minute earlier, how would adding additional digits for seconds make it easier for you? Remember, ALI chipset are hardcoded to trigger one manual timer at the top of each minute.
Nothing against the messenger, just questioning the message...

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.
