Ok.. More data. I submitted logs 52481620-4391-46f6-ba67-cbb51a02db78 just now.
Tonight I decided to try something different. I let it record the Bruins game, as it usually would. I also told it to record the show after the Bruins game, "Bruins Overtime Live" and I set that to record 90 minutes early, meaning it should start at 8:00pm. I was, of course, expecting the Bruins game to fail at 7:59pm like all previous ones had.
And sure enough, the Bruins game stopped at 7:59pm:

And then there was a lot of this as it retried a bit:

Interestingly, at 8pm, the start of the next show failed on that same channel, too:

But then, ten seconds later, it opened up... telling us that NESN, channel 6163, was down for 71 seconds, give or take:

And then an interesting thing happened:
2023/10/03 20:00:11.764825 [DVR] Starting job 1696373820-1 NHL Hockey on ch=[6163]

It seems like Channels also resumed the "actual" recording of the Bruins game, albeit with the one minute gap in there.
What I'm not sure of is whether it would have done this anyway, or if it only did it because there was a connection to share.
Thoughts?
And thanks!
