Use the driver from Klaus Schmidinger's homepage. It includes
time-shifting-capable firmware and use VDR-1.1.13/14.
So you can record multiple channels or record and display at the same time.

This could be implemented, but the question is who will do that job in
C/C++.
But you can set the filesize in VDR-menu and run a script, which
periodically checks the filenames/-size to delete the used ones.
If you set filesize to e.g. 1024 and run a script which deletes all files
which have reached 1 Gbyte or you delete all files by name except the last
one, you won't exceed 1,5 Gbyte.
