[mythtv-users] Is there a default start/finish offset option?

Ahh yes... those are the settings I use.  I was looking through the settings
last night and just noticed the ones that Jason is using.  Those are some
dangerous settings as it could easily prevent shows from being scheduled (I
would think).  The only reason I would ever use those settings is if I had
enough tuners that I can be sure that there will always be one or two free.

I have the "time to record..." settings at 1 minute each and never
experience the problems Jason mentions.  The myth scheduler does a wonderful
job arranging the recordings to "try" and give me the extra 2 minutes if at
all possible but never at the cost of another scheduled show.
