I have to say that here in Australia, this feature is really useful.
Because of the random nature of program start times, my default setting is
to pre-record 15 minutes, and post-record 30 minutes, because it really is
necessary, and not just because of occasional special incidents (important
breaking news etc.), that's just the way the networks run over here! I
always found it a real pain to skip 15 minutes forward at the start of most
programs.

I agree though that an option to enable it or disable it should be
available.
