This screen should be the same screen wherever the record
options can be set such as the EPG and Program Finder. These
use an InfoDialog object. I tried adding an InfoDialog with
ViewScheduled::displayInfo() in viewscheduled.cpp but I got
segfaults when I called GetProgramRecordingStatus after a
change to the record type. Not sure why. Must have overlooked
something my haste.

If you could manage to add the current info page to the
conflicts page, that would be a good first step.

I think a single record would need to be a separate entry
in the 'record' table for this to work (and, I think this
is the way it should be =).

Yes! a spinbox on the info page.

Maybe startoffset and endoffset could be added to the record
table. The startime and endtime would remain so that they
can be checked against the 'program' entries but the endtime
plus endoffset could be used in checking for conflicts and
for the actual start and end when recording.

Or one spinbox with All,1,2,3,4,5...

Not sure what options you didn't list but one consideration
is that you should be able to mark a 'recorded' entry as
exempt from auto-delete. This would need to be an attribute
of 'recorded' that the auto-delete code would honor. Auto-delete
code could also be used to remove the oldest non-exempt show
of any title when disk space falls below some minimum amount
of free disk space.
