He should be using the start early/end late minutes on the recording
rule and not the "extra time to start up file systems/capture cards/set
up STB's on first capture" global setting (which is specified in
seconds). The global value doesn't work the way most people assume it
works.
The DefaultEndOffset just pre-fills the end late minutes on new
recording rules you create--but it's still worth upgrading to r23110
(especially since end late is the right way to get a recording to end late).
