And note that the defaults are defaults for /new recording rules/ (not a 
default that's applied to rules that don't specify a value).  Therefore, 
changing the "Default 'Start Early' minutes for new recording rules" and 
"Default 'End Late' minutes for new recording rules" will have no effect 
on already-created rules.  Therefore, you'll need to edit existing rules 
to specify the start-early/end-late values you want to use.
