LOST / WEST WING conflict

I have a problem -- one that's shared by anyone else who happens to be a fan of both LOST and THE WEST WING (which I'm guessing is a lot of people).

Now that LOST is clocking in at 1:01, it overlaps with WEST WING by one minute -- and hence poses a scheduling conflict.  TiVo says I have to pick one or the other, and can't record both.  Ack!

But since more and more shows are starting to impose this sort of weird scheduling, it seems to me that TiVo should simply give me the option to start a scheduled recording a minute late, or stop it a minute early.  However, currently it only offers the reverse -- I can start a recording early, or stop it late -- but that doesn't solve my problem.

(Furthermore, under "Record by Time or Channel", I can only schedule recordings at 5 minute increments -- which also doesn't solve my problem.)

Do you know if TiVO has any plans to address this?  I can't be the first person to have this issue.
