Doing this would require having the replay recording from 2 sources
simultaneously, something it will not do.
For example, if you were watching a live show from input 1, and tried
to save the buffer by connecting an output to input 2 and record input
2. Doing this would require switching the Replay input away from input
1, which would cause loss of the part of the program not yet recorded
as well as causing the Replay to delete the buffer contents. You might
get a recording of a video feedback loop, but nothing of that program
you wanted.
How about trying things before recommending them?
