  Excuse me if this is an easy question, but I've searched google a bit
 and the archives and I can't seem to find the answer.

 When any of my shows, which are normally one hour long, has a two hour
 episode (usually two one hour episodes back to back, as a season finale
 or opener, etc) Myth will record the first hour, but not the second! At
 first I thought it was just because of sindication that they only showed
 the first hour for some reason, but then it happened again when I knew
 they showed both hours (I know because I actually watched it via a
 normal TV). I went to my Myth to delete it since I'd already seen it,
 and it had only recorded the first hour, not the second!

 Is there any way to prevent this from happening?


  Are you setting start early/end late on the recording rule? Doing so
 will cause conflicts for back-to-back recordings.

 Mike

  Not on this specific recording no, but I have to otherwise as on two of my
 channels that I record on regularly always start their shows about 1.5
 minutes early.  I have it set to 2 minutes early, and sometimes I still miss
 the first portions of the shows.  It is set to not do so however if there is
 another recording that needs to take place... which does work properly as
 sometimes the recordings do not have the early minutes, and those are in
 fact the 2nd ones in back-2-back recordings.

  Thanks for the idea though!
  Can anyone think of anything else?  I can't believe I'm the only one
 running into this...


 What duplicate matching policy are you using for this series?

 Nick


   I'm using "Subtitle and Description" as the "Duplicate Check Method" as
   listed in MythWeb (which is where I do all my scheduling etc).
