I don't think it's that much of a hassle, maybe in the beginning when setting up your regular series links, but unlike the V+ once they're added they are there for life and will pick up future seasons.

Let's face it, I just did it and it took less than 10 seconds... select set series link, 2 presses to the right into options, press down then right for new, press down add start padding, press down set end padding, press ok... done.

The only thing is the padding isn't intelligent enough to remove requested padding if there's no tuners free, it pops up a box saying you can either turn over or cancel the recording... so you need to switch over, wait for the 2 minutes padding (or whatever) to record then turn back when the tuner is free. At least the V+ cancelled the padding if it caused a clash.
