There is no global option for what you want (which is refered to as "hard
padding") - you just need to set the padding in the recording schedules.

There is an option in the settings for "Time to record before/after a show"
in Setup->TV Settings->General->General (Advanced) (the 4th screen). This is
for "soft padding" which means that Myth will only record the padding when
there are no adjacent shows and adjacent shows are not pushed to other
tuners. Sounds like you might have tried this before and I don't think it's
what you want.

Cheers,
Steve
