I want the ability to set the pre-padding and post-padding minutes on scheduled recordings to negative numbers.

A negative pre-padding would be especially useful for when the programming of a channel has been grievously offset from the EPG start times because a sports game broadcast went into overtime. Football games on CBS tend to do this quite often, sometimes offsetting the programming by nearly an hour, and I'd really like this feature in order to compensate for them.

A negative post-padding would be useful for when the EPG isn't properly aligned with the programming, or when the programming is padded with long commercial breaks following each program instead of having small commercial breaks within each program, such as programs on PBS. Yes, I might end up using it only trim off one or two minutes from each recording, but after enough recordings the space saved really adds up.

I'm hoping that this would be a relatively simple feature that wouldn't be that difficult or time consuming to implement. The only thing that might make it complex is putting safeguards in place to ensure that the padding times don't overlap if they're both negative, and ensuring that the recording length will be greater than zero minutes.
