Enhancement suggestion...
Because the local FTA EPG data is not entirely trustworthy, lead in and
lead out additions are a useful thing here. Unfortunately that means that
a tuner can not be used for consecutive time slots. The short overlap
causes a conflict. An alternate scheduling strategy would be to allow
recording part of the lower priority program.
Some types of program are only sensibly recorded as an all-or-nothing
deal, but others can miss large chunks and still be worth watching.
Typically all-or-nothing type programs would be given a higher priority.
An extra flag for all-or-nothing versus allow-recording-of-fragments
(defaulting to all-or-nothing) could also help here.
Yet another strategy would be to allow lead in and lead out times to have
a lower priority than that of the main program.
