And although I don't work for Tivo I have done a fair bit of software development and I can tell you changing the default padding option should be a 5 minute job. If it's not then there's something seriously wrong with the code. I could understand if they were going to do a more extensive rewrite of the code to allow users to set their own defaults, but to just change the default setting as it stands today should be trivial matter. It's just initialising the variable to another value.
I don't want forced padding thanks, especially 5 minutes. It takes 10 seconds or less to set options for a series link (and i'm tetraplegic with very limited finger movement), where's the hassle? Let see 3 minute end and 2 min start padding, select show, go to get series link... press right, right, down 4 times, right 2 times, down, right 3 times, OK, OK... done.

User configurable padding yes maybe, forced padding no ta.
