all recording to begin 5 mins early/end 5 mins later

Hi all - does anyone know if it is possible to doing a blanket change to settings so that all shows and seasons passes begin recording 5 mins before/end 5 mins after the selected shows?

I know this can be done individually for season passes, just hoped there might be a general control setting that can be changed...

Unfortunately on The Australian TiVo HD there is no global setting for padding.

The only way would be to crack your TiVo by having it chipped, then use one of the hacks.

Peter.
