[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1244368, member: 141969"] I have just tried this by scheduling a 30-minute manual recording for the second half of a programme that is broadcast daily for one hour. I can confirm that for the start and end times, the "Recording Schedule" panel shows the broadcast start and end times, and not the recording start and end times. However... If you look closely, you will notice that the red dot at the start or end of each line has a bite taken out for the recording that is incomplete. So MediaPortal has noticed this case, and is signalling this situation to the end user. Possibly the indication could be made more conspicuous. There are limits on what is possible, but I think that the skin author could (say) change the colour of the red recording dot with the bite taken out (for example, make it bright yellow instead of red). I almost never use manual recording. The recording option that I use most often is "weekly on this day of the week". That will record the programme with the specified name whatever time it is broadcast, and for whatever duration the programme has. So this automatically adjusts for changes from one week to the next. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
