I doubt think we would ever rely on EIT alone to start a recording. i.e. If we 
reach the programme start time but still have not seen the EITp/f then we 
begin recording as normal. If the event occurs after this point then we can 
create a cut point.

When it comes to ending early, if the EITp/f event occurs more than a 
certain % before the programme was scheduled to end then we can ignore it to 
be on the safe side.

I'm most interested in using the events to help reduce the size of recordings 
and possibly resolve conflicts. i.e. Some films tend to end upto 15 minutes 
before the next programme starts. If a recording ends early we should 
reschedule and possibly use that 15 minutes to record something which was 
previously conflicted.
