Change start time on scheduled recording - Contour 2

Thanks, but that doesn’t answer my initial question. I was previously able to START a recording LATE or END it EARLY, but now I can’t. Why was this taken away? Can that option come back? 

According to the link KevinM2 provided, you should be able to start a recording late or end it early.

• Use the up and down arrows to choose 1 or 2 minutes early, then press OK.
• Use the up and down arrows to choose 1, 5, or 30 minutes late, then press OK.
• For live events, the options are 30, 60, or 90 minutes late. Recordings of some live sports events will be extended automatically for overtime or extra innings.

Or, you could replace the Contour 2 with a Contour receiver that can be set to start on time, 1-5,10,15, 30 minutes late or 1-5, 10, 15, 30 minutes early as well as end on time, 1-5,10,15, 30, 60, 120, 180 minutes late or 1-5, 10, 15, 30 minutes early.  

Correct, but the 1 or 2 min early is just to start a recording, not to end it. And same with the 1, 5, or 30 min - that’s to end it later not end it earlier. 

I used to be able to start a recording 1 or 2 or 5 min late (so the program had started) and end a recording 1 or 2 or 5 min early (so the program wouldn’t quite be finished yet). This allowed for more shows that were on different channels, but whose recording times in the system overlapped, to be able to be recorded. From the replies, I’m guessing this is no longer an option with the ‘upgraded’ Contour 2 box.
