more options in recording post/pre padding

zombiepig · 2006-08-28, 02:52

At the moment, if you go to the settings for a scheduled recording, you've got the option to set the pre and post padding in 1 minute increments up to 20 minutes.

I'd like to see these increments tweaked a little - i'd like to see it go:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180 minutes.

I don't want to have to set the global post-padding to 60 minutes, but for some tv shows (such as live sport, or late movies on australian tv), it's quite common for the programs to go WAY more than 20 minutes over schedule.
I can't really see the use for a, say, 17 minute post padding option, but a 60/90/120 minute option would be a total life saver for me

I think I requested this quite a while back as well... Same reasoning: Eurosports' schedule is often waaayyyy off and 20 minutes simply wont do it then. I would also love to see something like 1,2,3,4,5,10,15,30,45,60,90,120 for example.

As zombiepig, I'm also a bit at a loss why there is a diffrence between 16 and 17 minutes for example...
