Works fine for me except for 2 points (a) overlap of 3 recordings of 1 at 8-9 and 2 at 9-10pm means 3 tuners used during overlap so stops me watching live TV on other channels – clipping needs to happen to drop padding on back to back programmes like V+, (b) default includes 10 episodes but I have 1TB box and if a series is more than 10 episodes and I record them all before watching, I will lose recoded episodes to the deleted folder.
So not perfect agree but padding is a basic need to make sure you capture a programme, the issues above need to be address not padding set by default, although I also think Tivo needs to allow you to set those default values not the box.

I use zero padding for any evening show when 3 tuners are sometimes needed just for the 3 shows, so no free tuners to cater for padding requirements. And, I haven't had any real issues with this method. Now, I will have to go into every recording I set up and delete the padding.
It's so obvious that different people use different padding settings, so not making the default padding user defined is, in my view:
lack of understanding/stupidity/incompetance; take your pick!
