Agree, you want padding on the previous programme being recorded to be ignored if another programme recording needs the tuner to start when scheduled.
The only point in padding is to make sure you capture the end of a programme just in case it is delayed slightly. Most of the time it is not relevant and you could up cutting off the start of another recording since you left end of recording on just in case there was a delay.
Not good I must say as you don't win with or without padding, definitely a step backwards since you are having to use priority to decide if padding is cancelled in effect by making the next recording a higher priority. I don't think priority of recording should decide this at all, it should be recording policy i.e allow padding if tuner is not needed for another recording, V+ had this exactly right and Tivo needs to match in this September patch update.
