I don't think there's any "automatic" way for Myth to modify rules on the
fly like that.  Since you're talking about recording a single showing, it's
not like you're making a search rule that would record all movies on a given
channel one hour past end time.  You really need to just extend each rule
you make to record longer if the movie is on a channel that goes off-air in
the guide.
