>.  In addition, there were 3 other shows set to record at 9PM so all 4 of my tuners would be in use.

Do you actually have 4 physical tuners?
I have 3 tuners. On each show I record, I set start early by 2 minutes, stop late by 2 minutes as hard values for each record rule I care about.

However, under mythtv-setup, I chose to have two virtual tuners per physical tuner. This means that myth performs for me, a fourth option from what you have listed, it records the extra 2 minutes late of the first show into the first show recording, and the first two minutes early into the second show recording. In all, this gives me a 4 minutes overlap. (making the assumption that the two shows are on the same channel). It does this usually only using 1 physical recorder.
