In the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany - those i am certain of

on all channels, some are worse than others, yet most channels are

setting on all recordings, and enough tuners so that recordings do
not need to be back-to-back on the same tuner.
Wait a minute... You're using start early/end late the way they were
designed to be used? From reading the lists, it seems like you
should be using global pre-/post-roll, instead, and complaining on
the list when it doesn't get the end of your show. ;)
(Note to anyone reading this: I'm being sarcastic here. Please, do
/not/ abuse pre-/post-roll and complain to the lists instead of
designing/configuring your system appropriately. If you use the
system like Rudy does, it works.)
I would dearly love to have a global start early / end-late setting,
with the scheduler showing the those modified times, yes. Now i have
to set them time and again on all recordings...
Yeah. There was some talk about recording rule defaults on the lists (
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/77459#77459 ), but
other than initial excitement, it didn't seem to generate enough
interest for someone to make the patch. Sounds like that would be very
useful for you.
P.S. on one program, which is currently scheduled after a seemingly
very popular (i don't care about it myself) live program, i have an
end-late of 60 minutes.....
Wow. Recording that much junk would make storage management a
challenge--you'd have to have a lot of extra disk space or edit
everything after recording. I'd say we in the US have it pretty easy in
comparison.
