I think you missed my point, but I wasn't explicit.  I was suggesting you
should queue the show after to record to.  You know, if Seinfeld comes on
afterwards, just set that up to record that too.  But, if there are options
in DVR to wait until the show is over, that's definitely a better option.
I've never used Myth, but I have used DVR.
