Can you actually watch a half hour past the end of the show? There is a known bug where sometimes MythTV will display a one hour show as being two hours long during playback. It happens almost every week for me on the Fox show 24. But the show only records for the correct time and it only takes the correct amount of HDD space. <BR clear="all"></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV>Yes, it really does keep recording. Last night it recorded Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It says it was on from 4:00am - 4:04am, but the recording length is 2:00:27 and I can watch the show immediately following it in the recording. When it was time to record another show at 5am, it used another tuner.<BR></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>One thing I forgot to mention is that I have it set to recording 15 seconds before a program and 30 seconds after a program. Maybe that broke at some point?</DIV><DIV>I'm trying a reboot only because I haven't done it in a while and I'll keep my fingers crossed.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV></BODY></HTML>
