For me rules for movies are always created for that occurrence. On the
commercial stations here also often a movie is chopped in two. If so I
extend the end time for the first part to include the second part.
Later I cut out that midway program together with the commercials.
I think it is very difficult to create a rule to also include the
second part and I think that most solutions would result in two
separate recordings. One way could be to disable duplicate checking,
but then the movie would also get recorded on any future showing.
