I can't agree with that. I'm in the UK and I just looked through about
20 recordings on MythWeb. Every single snapshot was of the program in
question. Maybe you have much higher pre-roll than most? IIRC you can
change the point into the program at which it takes the snapshop (180
seconds by default, I think).
