Do you guys know a way to set a PC clock consistently 15 seconds fast? Yeah it can be done manually but it would be nice if it stayed that way. Why such an odd need? The computer is running as a DVR and it's nice to have the very start of a show not clipped. If the software would allow start time to the second instead of the minute this would not be an issue.

If it allows to the minute move start time back one minute. You cannot be that hard up for drive space. Post editing the front of the file is easier than shifting the hardware clock is... likely.
If you still have a modem, there is a way to call the boulder NIST atomic clocks up and get it set to within a few milliseconds of exact. Better than the web setting version at NIST by about an order of magnitude. You might be able to do it with a spreadsheet. Force an offset of the set time in the last minute before your machine goes to record.
Other choices are to get and use a different DVR app. I am sure there are others... at least for Linux. Not sure what you are running.
It should be too hard to add such offsets into any SNTP client for which you can get the source codes.

I usually program the recordings to start one minute in advance, and stop 15 minutes after the end time. On some stations that is not even enough, on ZDF / ARD better have it run all night, else you get sports or anything else, and not your movie If you shift the clock earlier in your case it will stop before the end, you will miss the end.

Use a NTP client such as
You can program a Timeoffset to skew the PC clock.

Depends on who at the network is calling the shots.

Space is no issue at all but some of the stations run right up to the hour and some of the software recommends a 1 minute gap between events. I can get around a lot of it by recording in 2 or 3 hour blocks and sorting them out later (actually very easy and quick to do) when I 'pull up the blacks' - TV jargon for editing out the 2 minute black 'slugs' where the commercials get inserted later.

Monday -Friday I _average_ just under 8 hours a night (3 computers running) but that includes 2 hrs of older reruns on ION for the kid. The reruns are 'optional' but he likes them if I cab get them.

edit your timezone file to be 15 seconds fast. (not going to work if the EPG uses UTC)
If unix based the tool you want is "zic"

I don't use EPG. How does one edit the timezone file?
