DVR stops recording before end of show

The DVR recording times appear to be out of sync. Scheduled recordings consistently start and stop before they should ~ 30sec - 1 min.  It is very annoying because we always miss the end of recorded shows. I know I can extend the recording time by 1 minute but I should not have to do that for every show.

The networks aren't always in sync with the correct time which can be a very annoying problem to try and work around.  If you feel the DVR box time is out of sync you can reset that by disconnecting power to it for two minutes and reconnecting to reset.

Unplugging the unit doesn't make any difference to the time of recording, I've tried that multiple times. Like the OP I've got to add an extra minute and then get warnings that some of my shows won't record.

The networks habitually let their programs slide into the next slot (instead of having commercials lead into the next slot.) This is done in hoping that this will encourage viewers to stay on their channel. NBC's and ABC's half-hour sitcoms are major abusers.
