[QUOTE="NRivera637, post: 1057647, member: 143783"] This is going to date me but... joining the quest of a selected few I will duplicate the question (request). Many moons back when a VCR was the only way to record anything while away they had a function that was unbeatable. If I turn on Jay Leno, or Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel I really only want to watch their monologues. This requires all of 1/2 hour or less. Windows Media Center, MediaPortal and others record programs from start to finish. This is a waste of resources in many cases such as above. So why not add a feature to MediaPortal (OTR) where you can tell it to record only part of a given show... (Start time + 15 or 20 or 30 minutes - or 11:30pm to 11:50pm). This would save on processing time as well as hard drive life. Plus it allows for watching only the desired portion of a given program instead of the whole thing. I'd like to know what MP Scientists think of this... Thanks. :) I must add... MediaPortal in so many ways has so much better image quality than Windows Media Center that I love it. As I see more useable and needed features added I shift closer and closer to having MP as exclusive DVR application. MP still has some quirks I am figuring out and it has few missing features which I post in as time allows but - but overall, this thing will in time surpass WMC by miles... [/QUOTE]
