 EPG data is never 100% accurate so many times you will miss the end of a
 show in the recording. While there is the option to automatically extend
 the recording this has the effect of canceling the following recording in
 a back-to-back recording of the same show.

 Why not add a global/recording group grace period of lowest priority? The
 recording would continue for the grace period or until a recording with
 higher priority starts.

 Examples with a grace period of 5 minutes:

 Normal case:

 {{{
  <--- 45 min ----|-- 5 min -> ..... <--- ....
  Recording 1 (extended)             Recording 2
 }}}

 Back-to-Back:

 {{{
  <--- 45 min --->|<--- 45 min ----|-- 5 min ->
  Recording 1      Recording 2 (extended)
 }}}
