reschedules: the extra time is dropped if would cause a conflict - even if
there is a spare tuner available. This is not what Mark wants, but appears
to be what he is using. If you add time to each recording rule then that
time is always recorded - shows will be marked as conflicting if the extra
time causes a conflict and one of the shows won't record. I think that's
closer to what Mark wants.
