Sometimes, when a company doesn't listen to it's customers, and doesn't design by committee, it's capable of producing working solutions. Rarely, sadly, does it remember that lesson.

The thing is, the default padding worked for you, but it would have caused problems for me as I have all three tuners recording different channels reasonably frequently. Currently, I go into every recording/series link I set and delete all padding, change the keep Until and Max number of shows settings. . Occasionally, if I don't have any clashes, I may add some padding to BBC shows, but that will be a miniscule amount to change the settings for, compared to the amount I have to change now. Custom defaults ought to have been there from the get go.
