Comment (by rsiddons):

 Most users want to watch programmes that start on or after the scheduled
 time, not the trailers/adverts/waffle that precede it.

 The feature avoids the need to manually skip pre-roll for every viewing of
 every recording.
 The 'Start Early' pre-roll is usually considered as a safety buffer for
 those rare ocassions when programmes start early.

 Eventually it may get hooked up to the actual programme start rather than
 the scheduled time.

 With hindsight the feature should have been optional. However there's been
 a effort to avoid adding settings that no-one uses. Patches welcome.

 Current workaround (I believe) is to hook the "mythutils --clearbookmarks"
 up to the "Recording Finished" System Event
 https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_System_Events, which should "fix"
 completed recordings.

 There's also a keybinding for JUMPSTART, which will take you back to file
 start, if you can spare a button on your remote.
