Guys,<br>
<br>
I've noticed that lots of programs now last X hours + 2 mins, It's<br>
almost like this is designed to screw with recording shows, for example,<br>
"The Apprentice" (in the UK - Alan Sugar) started tonight on BBC1 and<br>
directly after it, "The Apprentice - You're Fired" on BBC2, however the<br>
"The Apprentice - You're Fired" overlaps by 2 mins because "The<br>
Apprentice" lasts 1 Hour + 2mins.<br>
<br>
I tried everything to get both of them to record, but could not, the<br>
only option was to "force record" the second show (using MythWeb), this<br>
would mean in theory I would miss the last 2 mins of the first show -<br>
MythWeb showed that it would record both, however, it did not record the<br>
second show at all - Damn - cos it was good tonight :)<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Add an over-ride (or adjust the schedule permanently) for one of the programs and go to Scheduling Options. There you can adjust the "Start recording on time" or "End recording on time" entries. For example if you'd rather miss the first two minutes go into the second program and tell it to start 2 minutes late or if you would rather miss the last two minutes go into the first program and tell it to end 2 minutes early. You could even split the difference with 1 minute early/1 minute late.<br>
<br>The US has been doing this for a while now, first noticed it with ER some years back.<br>
