Yes, its just a copy of those values from the Program Table.  If you have the right tools you can check the length of the video file itself...  Usually if I schedule a program to record x number of minutes after or before the showing, it usually cancels anything in its way providing that recording has a high enough priority.  I use those rules for Football Games as they tend to drag into overtime, etc.  Sounds like something that would be easily solved by adding additional tuners to your setup.
