New Dish customer here. After a few weeks of recording oodles of programs (most in fat HD), that giant hard drive is not looking quite so endless. I'll get more disciplined soon, but I had a question about the recordings I've been collecting...
Every program has anywhere from a minute to several minutes of cruft before and after the actual program I wanted: the last minute or two of the program that preceded the one I wanted, and a few minutes after it's over, commercials, etc. I understand the need for this slop/overlap (lack of precision timing), but once I have the recording, I'd like to go in and edit it, trimming everything off that comes before and after the actual program.
On my old hard drive DVR, I could easily edit programs like this (splitting them at a designated point). I have not found a way to do this on the 722 DVR/receiver.
Granted, this will not empty my hard drive, but I figure every little bit of junk I can get rid of is good, and it also makes watching the recorded programs "neater".
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!
