[mythtv] Proposed scheduler patch

[Bill Oberman]

I have a scheduling quirk that I'd like to also bring up, if it hasn't been
before.  Sometimes shows don't start exactly on time, so I pad a few minutes
to both ends.  I also have multiple tuners.  On the case of back-to-back
timeslots, I thought myth would thus bounce recordings from tuner to tuner
(since the other card is free).  Instead, it keeps the recording on 1 tuner,
and ignores the padding.  This isn't the biggest problem in the world, but I
do lose minor slices of shows from time to time because of this.  Yes, I
keep my clock in synch with NTP ;-)

Yes, but there is no way to mark cards as "equivalent".  If you have
multiple pvr-x50 cards why rank them?  I don't care if a recording is on
card 1, 2, or 3 -- they are effectively the same.
