While it's true that you can't know if the broadcaster will shift the 
following programs or not, in the case of 60 Minutes CBS *always* shifts 
it. Therefore, in the case of this program (and probably others), it 
would help to have Myth always shift the recording start time. That's 
why I proposed a per-recording flag.

Granted, this will not account for the possible addition of a post-game 
show, which even CBS does sometimes add, but it will help for a very 
large percentage of the cases.
