[mythtv-users] Conflict resolution and Live TV

First off, I just got a box setup with MythTV this week.  I haven't tried it
out since 0.5 or 0.6, and it's come a long way.  Great job!

Two questions...

First question is with conflict resolution.  There's a couple of shows I 
want to record, one after the other, but they overlap by 5 minutes.  Show
A runs from 9:05 to 10:05, show B rins from 10:00 to 10:30.  I want it
to forget about the last 5 minutes of A, and then record all of show B.
I tried giving B a higher ranking, but then it looks like it would only
record B.  Is the only way to set up a manual recording from 9:05 to 10?

The other question is about the live TV buffer.  If I'm watching live TV,
exit back to the menu, then go back to live TV, I can't rewind to see 
what I missed while I was in the menu system.  Is this just the way it
works, or is there a way to tell it to work like the Tivo does: save
to the live TV buffer unless it's specificly recording a scheduled show.

Thanks!
