Correct, and for most shows (not on 101-107) this is fine

Now on V+ it was possible to set a global time lag before a show and after a show say 2 mins before and after

True.

To do this on TiVo you need to go into the series link and manually set these choices on every recording

For now. Global Padding should be available by the Autumn if not sooner.

I dont want 10 episodes to be recorded on anything so I have to change it on every recording

Huh? That's the max number it will keep assuming you don't delete any. What's the problem?

I want my recording to start 1 minute before the program starts and 1 minute after it ends, so again I have to set these parameters on every recording an it takes time.

99% of my SL have no padding at all.

I believe this is a backward step, why make something difficult on new technology ? when it was so easy on the old technology ??

I agree and, like I said, this feature will be added soon.
