OK but remember you've got 3 recordable tuners so it's not going to happen very often, plus the higher priority series link *will* clip the padding off a lower priority series link, so it's not a massive problem. Although not ideal I would rather that, than have to manually add padding each and every time I set a recording from the web/mobile, or from the guide where it doesn't even prompt you to set it.

Sounds like that could be more extensive code change, so let's see what turns up in September

User configurable padding yes maybe, forced padding no ta.

I could easily turn that around and say you could quite easily go into your recordings and remove the padding. The reality is that schedules do quite often overrun, so personally I'd rather it added a couple of minutes than none at all.
Yes in an ideal world we could set our own preference, but VM are saying that's over 6 months away.
