What I'm proposing is this. Currently if a recording goes from 8pm to
9:01pm and another goes from 9:00pm to 10:00pm, the second will not be
recorded (assuming 1 tuner) because of the overlap. I'd like the
scheduler, at 9:01pm, to recognize that program 2 is only 1 minute into
the show and start recording it when the tuner becomes available despite
the 1 minute overlap resulting in 1 minute missing from the second
show. I don't like setting the "record late" option on program 2
because it will *always* record late even when there is no conflict.
