But do also check your "end late" setting for the Lost recording
specifically -- yesterday's scheduled end time was 9:06 (PST), so 9:11
sounds suspiciously like you have a 5 minute pad.  Look at next week's
show in "Upcoming Recordings" -- I show it from 9:00-10:02; do you
have 10:07?

I've been meaning for a while to look into coding a feature to
replicate overlap time in two files (so, for example, 9:01-9:11 would
be in both the Lost and Life on Mars files), either directly or as a
post-processing job.  I believe this should be possible with mpeg2
files at least, but haven't gone into it.  Multirec can address the
same issue, but not for other types of tuners.
