It seems that the networks (most likely in an effort to thwart us time-shifting, commercial-skipping "content thieves") are scheduling programs to start and/or end a minute early/late. For example, on 1/26 at 9:59PM, ER is scheduled to air. It will only be recorded of course if there is not something scheduled in the 9-10 timeslot.
This can be dealt with easily enough (manually) simply by scheduling the 9-10 program to stop recording a minute early. It's a pain to have to watch the scheduled programs list for this kind of situation however. What about a feature in mythtv to always end a recording early if a conflict overlap is within some allowed time? So I could set mine to 1 minute and if the scheduler ever sees a time overlap of a minute or less, it will schedule the preceding program a minute early. I suppose one could/should also be able to choose to start the subsequent program late, allowing the previous program to complete. Or maybe even split the difference. Whatever. I just know that having to do this manually is less than optimal. Thots? b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
