Max of Six Recordings Starts March 2020
Beginning Friday, March 20, 2020, you will be able to record a maximum of 6 programs at one time.
I have two xg1-v4 DVRs in the house. Does that mean 6 per box?

Really, a lot of mouth marbles on that reply.
I first pointed this out in this post:
The issue would be present if you're auto-buffering your programs, where a show starting at 9:00 actually starts recording at 8:59, and another program ending at 9:00, auto extends to 9:01.
All you would need is all six program recording from 9:00 to 9:01 and you've reached capacity.
I guess the real answer will come to light on March 24th.

has anyone run a test to see if they can record more than 6 programs at one time?

I noticed that with overlap I had scheuled 6 recording so I threw in a recording of Green Acres and did not get a message that there would be a problem. When the time came my list of currently recording showed all 7 shows being recorded. I can't actually look at each show to verify it did get recorded but I will tomorrow. This week end I will try recording 7 or more full shows without overlap to see if it still works.

So I ran the test recorded 7 shows at the same time and they all recorded as far as I can see. Nothing missing. There was one strange thing. A show that I have marked record new only recorded fine but the system (?) set it to also record a repeat copy of the same show a few hours later. This is a show I record every M - F and it doesn't record repeats so I have no idea why or when the system set it to record a repeat.
