If you make this a global setting (rather than just for this schedule), then I think you will get what you want. Dutch channels are equally unpunctual, so I have a global 5 minutes at either end of a program, and so if I have 2 or more consecutive programs I will get the end of one on the beginning of the next. I agree, though, it would be useful to have a 'record the bits that don't conflict' option, for those times when different channels overlap by a short time.
