Not me.  If I schedule something like that, what I want is for Myth  
to rearrange things so it can get all of both shows.  Half a show is  
usually useless to me.

Maybe the difference is, I rarely think about time slots when I set  
up recordings.  I just think of it as asking Myth to get me shows X,  
Y, and Z.  I leave the details about what times it should record them  
at to the software, because I'm lazy that way. ;)
