ambiguous parameter set in TVAddRecordingOptions #31

There are multiple sources in TVAddRecordingOptions for description, channel, start and end time, as direct parameter on the options object and via the program object.

It should be defined which one takes precedence if both are available.

The current spec defines that a recording should start now if startTime is not defined, what happens if a startTime is defined for a program? I think this is inconsistent.

I think there are only a few possible combinations that make sense in TVAddRecordingOptions:

A TVChannel object, with optional startTime and endTime, with behaviour as currently described (apart from the note about omitting endTime, which should be removed).
A TVProgram object. In this case, the channel, startTime, and endTime options are ignored.
