This is my first year of a lights show and I didn't want to run it all the time (as it might annoy the neighbours), so is it possible to set the scheduler to run the 1 show (4 minutes long) on the quarter hour (7:00pm, 7:15pm, 7:30pm, etc)?

Yes, use your 4 minute sequence and then put in a 11 minute blank sequence behind it. It will loop the 15 minutes then.

Sorry, this is a dumb question, I know, but how do you make an 11 minute blank show? Don't I have to import a media file to make a show, and therefore I need an 11 minute blank one. How do I get this?

Never a dumb question here....
Download and install a program called Audacity. Its a Free audio editing software.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - Audacity website
I personally like the stable 1.2.6 version as opposed to the beta version they have.
open the program.....Click the generate menu pulldown , click Silence, and enter in 660 seconds (11 minutes) and click Generate Silence....then under FILE menu pulldown, use EXPORT as WAV to create the wav file for Aurora.

IF during the 11 minutes you want your lights all on.....or certain parts of your display lite.....you can do that in this 11 minute sequence as well. I'll be doing a preshow that is silence, but still fades from color to color and only shows part at certain times... my nativity scene, house and trees, polar bears, etc.
