[mythtv-users] is mythtv smart enough to do this (overlap/back-to-back) with recordings?

Perhaps it would help if all of the various ways of seeing the 
schedule were aware of the pre/post buffers and displayed them.  
Instead of seeing two shows from 1800:1900 and 1900:2000 and 
wondering why they are conflicting, it should show 1758:1902 and 
1858:2002 or even 1800-2:1900+2 and 1900-2:2000+2.  In the EPG it 
could display the pre/post buffers using a coloured bar in the 
adjacent slot (similar to the way the current time is indicated 
using shading in the first slot).  I'd think that mythweb would be 
the hardest interface to change.
