[mythtv-users] Time offset; losing first few seconds of recordings

Hello,

I am losing approximately 3 seconds off of the start of my recordings
in MythTV.  I am using a PVR-350, so I'm guessing the source of this
delay (the time is sync'd by NTP) is due to the time it takes for the
PVR-350 to tune the tuner.

So, what I would like to do is offset the time (on the system, if
necessary) by roughly three seconds.  Setting the pre-record time in
Options isn't particularly helpful because if two programs are
back-to-back, it ignores it.

I thought it would be a straightforward matter to add a delay while
syncing by NTP, but it seems I was wrong.

Any ideas on how I can do this?
