-The first option is for the recording "padding". This sets a "safe" zone of extra time to record the program at the start and end of a program.

-<WRAP info>If you have a limited number of tuners and programs back-to-back, but on **different channels**, you may want to set the padding to zero, to ensure that the HDHomeRun's tuners are free to record multiple channels. If the programs that are back-to-to-back are on the **same channel** then you can keep the padding, as the DVR software doesn't have to change channels for each program.</WRAP>+<WRAP info>If you have a lot of back-to-back recordings that are on different channels, but only have a limited number of tuners, the extra padding can prevent the tuner from switching to the correct channel. The DVR software thinks that all tuners are "busy", even though it's just 30 seconds late. If you know you have a lot of shows on around the same time, you may want to set their padding to 0 to prevent this.</WRAP>
