I found out 60 minutes always starts late in football season so my
schedule for it extends for an extra hour. Actually is more like
football games always last 15-30 mins longer than what tv stations
schedule.

Live events can be unpredictable, all my live sports recordings have
at least 60 mins extra time and in the case of this weekend I just
stayed on top of the ball changing/adding to the schedule and I didn't
miss a point from the US Open. Not optimal solution but it didn't take
that much time (about 10 mins every day)

Maybe we could use something like twitter to push/pull last minute
schedule updates.... hmmm
