Newbie Series Link Question

Tangentially off topic and really for the R15, but indulge me:

On the Tivo, you can set multiple SPs for a show on different channels (I have one for Columbo on A&E and another for Columbo on Hallmark, for example)
I don't know about the HR20, but this was lacking on th R15...you could only set one per show title...has this been changed?
 
It's driven from the guide or what you manually set, of course.
It has no secret hot line to the network offices.
I wonder if the MythTV or FreeVo folks are working on software to detect ending credits or other telltale data in the blanking interval, like captioning, etc.
One could identify show start/end signatures much like anti-virus software detect viruses.

It's possible and would be a neat trick.

Networks are playing stupid games with times lately. A letter writing campaign is in order.

BTW, I don't think they are doing this to screw up timeshifters, I think they are doing it to screw up channel-changers and to try to introduce non-standard program formats, like the 5 minute show.
