[mythtv-users] Recording events that run long

Anyone else out there using their MythTV to time-shift programs with
unpredictable lengths? Sporting events in particular always seem to run
just a few minutes longer than MythTV thinks it should record. (I lost
the last OT of a 3OT basketball game...) Awards shows run long, too, but
honestly I'm a little less concerned about those. :)
Is there any hope of having Myth keep recording until the end of the show,
not just the end of the slot? At the very least, there could be a
per-show recording option to record past the end of the slot (say, an
hour) at a low priority. (I know there's already a global option for
this, but it wouldn't make sense to record an extra hour for, say, a
sitcom.) This mode could be manually selectable per-show or could be
enabled by default for any event/show of type Sports.
