For anyone who's still not clear on the padding/recording priority, this is how I believe it works currently with 2 tuners.

We'll assume we are recording 2 shows at 21.00 with 5 mins padding on each. If a recording is scheduled at 22.00 then there are two possibilities.

a) If the 22.00 recording is a higher priority than either of the 21.00 shows then it will clip the padding off one of the 21.00 shows
b) If the 22.00 recording is a lower priority than both 21.00 shows then the recording will not start until 22.05

Recording priority seems to be:

1. One-off recordings
2. Series links (in order specified in series link management menu)
3. Tivo Suggestions

Suggestions get 10mins auto padding on stop time. Everything else you have to set.

With 3 recordable tuners it should be fairly unusual to get a problem, fingers crossed.
