Can I check some terminology here? Is the 'per-program pre/post roll'
you refer to, the same thing as 'start early / end late settings' that
Rudy was talking about earlier? (copy of what he said below...)
Short answer: you are mis-using. For the behaviour you want, you need to
use the start early / end late settings, which actually change the
scheduler times. The pre- ad post-roll are for a different purpose (like
getting the backend running in time when using a lan wake-up, allowing
for long tuner times, things like that).
