@mdkHi, yes its something I already do, in my case its usually 2-3 hours later, depending on the schedule of the show(s). Because of this change there are a few shows I can no longer record as I or someone else in my household may already be recording another show(s) or watching another channel or Wpg Jets game. My schedule also conflicts with some of the later schedule of History West..even if I wanted to record in advance its not always possible. If I had known I would lose access to 421 History East with this TV plan I would never have changed it. I had one of those plans that allowed you select theme packs and this new plan *at the time* Ultimate TV stated History Channel was included but in the scummy*ness* not all of the History Channels are included as i was told it was "free preview". Something I'm angry about in their misleading advertisement / Channel Listing. But I'm looking at other options available so there's that at least.

Allegedly, the Rogers cloud-based PVR can simultaneously record up to SIX channels.
Are you hitting that limit?
I have experienced having two active recordings while watching the Canucks on a different channel.
I personally would like to watch the earlier History channel live because I go to bed earlier and look forward to watching Oak Island on the earlier H. I don't see why we cannot choose which one we prefer. I don't think there is a difference in the progams but I prefer watching earlier or even recording ealier ... I don't want to wait til the next day to watch. If I only want one plus the H+ which I have, I just don't see why it is so difficult to have one or the other or both.

The Winnipeg Jets compete in the NHL as a member of the Central Division in the Western Conference.
The Winnipeg Bombers CFL team competes in the West division. At the end of the CFL regular season, if their win/loss record is only 3rd in the West, but with a better record that the 3rd-best team in the East, they advance to the East playoffs.
Are you of Swiss extraction, and thus "neutral" ? 🙂
