Don't you hate people who drag up old threads!
Anyway I've finally had time to get my utility working for extending sporting events and stopping them early too. It's actually pretty cool, a baseball game and a college football game both needed over an hour added Saturday and it worked great. Also back-to-back recordings get extended well too.
Those both use parallelprocessing.bat so the logic is straight forward (or so it seems). It does get complicated when I need to initiate the utility after the epgupdate as it can only handle recurring events and I do think I have to concentrate solely on shows following Sunday games. If anyone who what to test to see if it works for Madame Secretary or The Good Wife after a regional game next Sunday let me know.
Also I'd be interested in hearing other options anyone would like or can think of let me know (ie don't cancel earlier recordings, change priority of the following show etc.)
