I too was wondering about this when I saw that only half of the Astros-Braves game was recorded for me. I really hope on of these solutions could be implemented for sports programming.<br><br>

<br>a site like <a href="http://espn.com">espn.com</a> to determine if the game is over, and if it's<br>still in progress, talk to mythbackend via mythweb to extend the<br>recording (easiest, worst solution)<br><br>Has anyone already tackled this? Or is there an existing solution?
