Change start time on scheduled recording - Contour 2

I just got a Contour 2 dvr box. It appears that I lost the ability to start a recording a few min late or end it early. Is my only option for start times to start early? And can I only end recordings...

And that’s supposed to be “with shows now going a min over”.

      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.
