In mythfrontend's settings:

Time to record before start of show (in seconds)
This global setting allows the recorder to start before the scheduled 
start time. It does not affect the scheduler. It is ignored when two 
shows have been scheduled without enough time in between.

and

Time to record past end of show (in seconds)
This global setting allows the recorder to record beyond the scheduled 
end time. It does not affect the scheduler. It is ignored when two shows 
have been scheduled without enough time in between.

But note that these settings are ignored anytime there are back-to-back 
recordings--even if you have multiple capture cards. See the entire 
thread (still in progress) at
