Which PVR are you talking about?

The Pace Twin has it :-

menu - configuration - timer settings.

to adjust every recording to give a bit of extra space for late
finishes.

There may be on the Pace, but I do not believe there is on the Humax.

I was referring to the pace twin.

you can adjust the start time and end time, the settings will be applied to
all timer recordings.

I'm afraid I can't get my head around the concept of an 'improvement'
that allows you to use the epg to programme a recorder, yet doesn't use
the epg to control the recording as steam PDC does on analogue.

Was PDC ever that good? I've had about 3 videos with PDC over the
years and on all of them, using PDC often resulted in recording
cock-ups. I've had huge lumps missed off the end of recordings,
recordings starting ridiculously late and completely failed
recordings. In the end, I just switched it off and manually added a
few minutes to the timer settings.

Anyway, have we got anything concrete to tell us that recordings won't
be event driven rather than time driven under the much awaited EPG?

Unfortunately after a few bad experiences people were liable to give
up. I certainly never appreciated that there was a difference between
the channels and after a few ruined recordings from BBC2 I ditched the
whole idea and used manual timings.

Is this working for anyone yet? My Humax PVR8000T is still running in
the usual "Now and if you are lucky Next" mode.

Anyone used the 8 day EPG yet.

Especially on the Humax 8000

If so is it automatic or do you need to reset to enable?

Thanks
