If you're saying you want to ensure the 10min before and after, just set 
the "Start Early" and "End Late" fields for the recording rule.  Global 
padding is optional--primarily meant to give your card time to get its 
act in gear before the show starts, which assumes that it will be ready 
for the following recording without any padding.
