DVR Cuts off End of Show ...

I tried searching on this (probably common) issue in the forums, but could not find answers.Hopefully someone here has a solution.

I just got Cox + DVR (after years of having DirecTV DVR and Comcast DVR) - and those prior DVRs seem to have the problem solved for recording shows that "go over" their scheduled ending time by a minute or so. And even better, those DVRs seem to even know when an entire show has played later due to some other event (ie - a football game running late).

AnywayI just got Cox, and have been recording Jeopardy, as a scheduled series ... and consistently the DVR cuts off the last minute or so (the most important part!!). So how do i prevent this from happening? And this question is more for recording as a series (so I cannot program the recording time for each show).

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Cjcornell,

Thanks for reaching out to us through the Cox Forums! I've experienced the issue that you described; especially on certain channels like USA and TNT. There are a few DVR settings that will address this problem. Press the DVR List button once to open the menu. If you have Jeopardy set as a Series Recording, scroll down to Series Manager and select Jeopardy. Edit the Jeopardy Record Options and change the End Time to 1 minute over. These steps are found on page 59-60 of the Contour Program Guide. 

Please let us know if this helps!

oops - never mind - i finally found the option to kludge this by asking to record 2-3 mins extra for the one show...
