It can and does but it also prefers to record full episodes
whenever possible. If there is another showing of the same
episode that it could record it will schedule the complete
episode instead.

Go the the conflicts page after your reboot and you will see
that the current partial show is marked "L"ater and another
showing is marked Will Record and will show the card number.
If you want to record the remaining portion of the current
showing anyway, press Enter and click "Reactivate".

This only happens when there is another showing it could record.
If there isn't, the backend will start recording the showing that
is in progress.
