And somewhere in there should be checking the backend logs (that's 
always my first stop).  If there are no errors (and note that errors may 
not be easy to spot if you're not sure what to look for--so posting a 
full log showing startup through early recording end is a good idea--see 
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Posting_Logs ), that--coupled with your 
location--probably indicates your system is being told the show is 
ending at the wrong time (possibly with EIT updates that occur during 
the show, possibly as late as when the recording ends).
