Increase Current Recording Length

KevinM · 2007-10-26, 23:47

Sometimes programmes overrun and it's obvious that the recording will end before the programme is actually finished.

Would be good if there was an option to 'bump' on an extra 5/10/15 minutes to a current recording

Hi KevinM,

Can't you just use the "Start recording x mins before..." and "Stop recordings x mins after..."? I guess it will waste some disc space to make these numbers large but it is so frustrating when you miss the last 5 mins of your favourite show... I've got them set to 5 and 15 mins.

Yes - I do this. In fact I found out that you can change the value for an ongoing recording by looking at its properties in the 'Scheduled Area'. Just wondered if it would be a bit more intuitive if there was an additional option for ongoing recordings when you select 'more info' in the Guide section.
