ME TOO! :)

No seriously, this should ideally be available either through the
mythfilldatabase interface somehow, or through the same sort of interface as
for changing hue and saturation. I live in US CST, but about a quarter of my
stations provide listings in EST.

If someone were to tell me where in the code to do this, I could probably
produce a patch.

I had written a patch for that, I still have it, but I doubt it will
apply cleanly to current cvs. I didn't need it anymore, but I will in a
month (when I head back to school) so I'll probably get that working
again. I've attached it if you want to mess with it. If you get it to
work with current cvs please put it on the list.

I was thinking of implementing this some time ago, but I have the
feeling I now hear two different kind of problems:

1. an offset because the times for some channels are from a different
timezone
2. per channel preroll and overtime settings

Maybe both should just be implemented? If Isaac has no problems with
this idea I'll see if I can find some time to do this.

(Personally I need option 2 because there are some channels which really
seem to take their begin and end times as only an indication and
sometimes start 15 minutes early or late. But I don't want a half hour
leeway on the 10 minute cartoons I record from another channel that
_does_ adhere strictly to the times they give)

FYI -- Tivo, of course, does this on a per-show basis. While not a
complete substitute for a per-channel offset, it's nice when you know
certain shows have taglines that run right up to the very end of the
hour.

I've got a patch that used to work (it doesn't apply cleanly to current
cvs), but I don't have a need for it at the moment. Eventually I'll need
it for an incorrect timezone when I go back to school, I'll fix it then
and submit it to the list. If anyone wants to try their hand, the patch
is attached. Good luck.

BTW, I already send a message like this once, but I'm not sure if it
made it to the list.

It did and I was already thinking to use it as the basis for the stuff I
planned on doing, who knows I might even have some time tonight ;-)

Cheers,

You are right, I remember now something that I saw in a Tivo screenshot
somewhere.
Hmmm so what is the general consensus people? Should we go for
per-channel, per-show or maybe even both?
