Why not just hit the exit button once the match ends?  I don't think you
have to sit and watch the entire recording all the way to the end.  :)

Are you saving these matches after they are watched?  Probably easier to
watch them and delete them than to schedule additional processing time
and your time to create an edit list and transcode.

I hit a similar problem once, a sports show pushed the start of a movie
that was to be recorded out by about 30 minutes.  Needless to say the
end of the movie was not recorded which did not go over to well.  But
that is the same problem with a standard VCR if you don't know the show
is being delayed for some reason and there is no way to modify the
recording schedule.
