I have set recordings to start 1 minute before the program starts and 
ten minutes (the maximum 600 seconds, don't know why this is limited) 
afterwards.
Many recordings seem to start early and end before the end of the show, 
since I'm almost never at home while the recordings are made I can 
verify if it is transmitted late or mythtv fouling up :-)

When recording two shows back-to-back on the same channel I have to 
watch the last 10 minutes of the first recording just to see the 
starting 10 minutes of the second. It is almost as if the backend 
interprets the before and after times setting backwards..

BTW I running 0.14 on 2 frontends and a seperate backend, time is synced 
to internet time on all systems.
