zap2it doesn't do that, here. Largest I've ever seen a 'No Data' segment from
them is 4 hours. I do have a few 'SIGN OFF' segments that last for up to 8
hours, though.
And, really, getting data back from the provider, even though the title is 'No
Data', _is_ program data, unless you think we shouldn't trust the listings
source at all. No program data means, well, no program data at all.

And so force _everyone_ who wanted to watch a program recorded like that
somewhere else to post-process their recordings so it's one file? Yeah,
that'd go over well.
