Continuous recording the way live-tv does ?

Hi all,

Is it be possible, if yes, then how, to record continuously as with live-tv?
What I mean is record automatically in chunks of 30-min.

Set a manual recording rule that records a particular channel starting
at some time and ending at some other time. Not sure why you want to
do this. I guess because you want all your old programs to expire
constantly to make room for these new recordings you probably won't
watch?

Sure there is. Just take and set every program on that channel to
record. Of course you are going to get 12-18 hours a day worth of
programs that you will never watch. Much better just to record what you
really want to watch.

No I need it for a special occasion/situation. The 30-min liv-tv chunks
I can concatenate. If I do it manually for say 12-hours I need to setup
24 recording-rules per channel and I don't know if they will fit
together as with the live-tv chunks.

Set it up to manually record 30 minutes. Start at 12. End at 12:30,
Start at 12:30, end at 1:00.
Still not sure what sort of special situation would warrant such a
thing. I'm sure whatever you're trying to do has an easier way. :)

I'm a little confused. What is your goal? Do you want a single 12 hour
recording? Or do you want a bunch of 30-minute recordings?
