This "kludgey" way is the way you're supposed to do this. If you need
to over-record for a rule, set the over-record on /that/ rule and the
scheduler will honor it. If you need it on all rules, set it on all rules.
Is there a fast way to do this?
Not using the GUI. You could quickly do it using the database (but be
careful and make a backup and all the other required disclaimers).

Search the archives. This has been discussed to death. Some devs
(Chris Pinkham/Bruce Markey?) even went to the trouble of writing code
to allow "hard" pre-/post-roll values, but the limited feedback they
received combined with the extra problems it created seemed to be enough
to cause them to table the issue.
Can you provide a more-specific pointer? I'm having a hard time
finding this particular discussion in the archives; presumably I'm
not using whatever terminology was being used.

Please read *all* the posts in the thread to make sure you understand
what's happening.
Oh, and apologies to David Engel for my mis-assigning credit in my
previous post.
It seems we're more likely to get a "default recording settings" that
would provide a "template" to use when creating a new rule (i.e. allows
you to set the default to include start early/end late values other than 0).
That would certainly be nice. In particular, I'd like to say, by
default, "pad -every- recording by 2 minutes with a pre- and
post-roll." I don't see any way of doing this; it seems that
I have to specify it for every program I pluck out of the program
guide, or for every recording rule I make. It'd be nice if it
could inherit some default values. (If there's some easy way
to do this, then I've missed it; can anyone enlighten me?)
Right. As I said, "we're more likely to get" (implying future tense)
and "would provide" (subjunctive tense, indicating it is not fact, but
possible). My *guess* is that when/if we get this it will be from David
Engel (creater of the playback groups) or some user who decides to help
David out. :)
