Oh, and having read your subject, I should also say that

-10 start early means start 10 minutes late
30 start early means start 30 minutes early

-10 end late means end 10 minutes early
30 end late means end 30 minutes late

So the range for the "Default 'Start Early' minutes for new recording 
rules " is between starting 30 minutes early and starting 10 minutes 
late and the range for "Default 'End Late' minutes for new recording 
rules" is between ending 10 minutes early and ending 30 minutes late.  
I.e. even if you did want to change the "Default 'Start Early' minutes 
for new recording rules", you could change it to start more than 10 
minutes ahead of schedule.
