Look in libs/libmythtv/programinfo.cpp and search for "Change Ending
Time".  That's where the new ending time is entered.  The GUI creates
an override rule if the recording already for a single recording and
then allows the user to edit the ending time.  Actually, the user can
change anything in the rule, but only changes to the ending time will
take effect.

Then look in programs/mythbackend/scheduler.cpp and search for
ChangeRecordingEnd.  That's where the new ending time is acted upon.
The scheduler detects that the ending time changed and notifies the
recorder.
