Global pre/post roll is soft and not meant to cover programming slides 
that networks do.  It is designed to account for slight delays in 
starting up recorders, etc.

The per-program pre/post roll is hard and will cause the scheduler to 
always record it.  Use this if you want to guarantee that you get the 
roll, but be warned, it will bump other programs as conflicts if this 
happens.  In that case, get yourself enough tuners to handle all the 
schedules you have.
