Just some thoughts: Colbert is being affected by CBS' Thursday Night
Footbal. If I created a custom recording rule for Colbert with a higher
priority than the regular one that added 60-90 minutes and included
DAYNAME(program.starttime)='Thursday' would it just record Colbert longer
on Thursdays?

And for completeness and giggles: How would you adjust the SQL to only work
between, say, September 1st and March 1st?
