Recording analog and QAM HD at the same time

[Ryand833]

May seem like an odd question, but I've recently ventured into the world of HDTV, and am still in the transition phase.

I have 4 analog tuners recording analog standard-def from four Dish Network receivers, and I now have one HDHomeRun hooked up to one QAM source for my local channels.

If I schedule a show to record on NBC tonight at 8 on the analog, and I schedule the same show to record on the NBC-DT channel from QAM, since they're the same show name/episode ID/etc., will there be a problem with the MPG file that Sage writes to? Will they interfere with each other?

Ok, thanks.. Guess I should have researched more, it uses the airing ID in the name of the file and the 2 are different.
