Well, a less manual way to do the same thing is to use the global "start early" and "end late" options. The recording schedule records at the normal non-early and non-late start and end times, but these global pre-roll and post-roll settings are respected only if they don't cause a conflict with anything else (this is slightly different from the OP's in that any conflict -- same channel or different channel -- will cause this global pre-/post-roll to be ignored). I don't know offhand where the configuration GUI is for these options, but it's in there somewhere. I use a global pre-/post-roll of 5 minutes to deal with the networks' purposeful DVR-defeating schedule-skew, without causing "hard" conflicts (although I have two tuners, so this rarely happens). --Rob
