Regarding baseball on the World Series I also had to add a couple hours time to the their schedules, and on one game that wasn’t enough! :-)

Just curious.. if you are keeping the races and a race is delayed due to weather or some other reason such as scheduling for a golf tournament. :-) .. are you going to also keep that and not do a quick edit to remove the initial delay? 

I have to do edits on recordings that I do on Sundays to remove the beginning leftovers caused by delays in sports events before, and to remove the additional extra that I added
 To insure that I got enough time for the recording.

I add 2 hours to the end of sporting events as mentioned above to be the easiest solution for me and so not try to rely on some automatic information that one of the networks may or may not do. :-)

If you are using cable, what do you do when the broadcast gets moved from their main network over to one of their cable networks as Fox does with FS1 and NBC does with USA/whatever only cable network they will use. 

Anyway,  so many permutations of this problem that occur! :-)

Regards!
