[mythtv-users] is mythtv smart enough to do this (overlap/back-to-back) with recordings?

I don't disagree with a lot of your points, but I don't think you are
correct on some either. For example, I think that TiVO (at least the
few I've used) don't have a post-pre record option. So, the conflict
wouldn't occur because of the lack of that feature.
Another reason why I don't agree with this approach is that if the
user is "intelligent" enough to be tweaking pre-post roll recording
options, they ought to at least have the vaguest idea of how to view
what changes are being made to their recording schedule. I don't
necessarily think that you have to be a networking guru to know how to
write webpages, obviously. But this is more like not knowing how to
use Linux and yet still knowing how to build a kernel. I doubt that
this demographic is very large ;-)
