[mythtv-users] Daily use questions: recording settings

I don't quite understand how the recording settings work as they pertain to:

Time to record before start/past end of show (in seconds) and the start 
early/end late (minutes).

We have the Time to record before start/past end of show (in seconds) set to 
300, (5 minutes) but when choosing a program to record we typically set the 
start early/end late (minutes) to 3 for shows we deem "important".  Sometimes 
the recordings start the full 8 minutes prior to the show, other times it's 5 
minutes  or even the 3 minutes.

Can anyone explain how these settings work?  Do they depend on something...is 
one setting mandatory and the other recommended?  I'm confused and would like 
to be better able to set these to meet our needs.  Thanks!

Michelle
