OK I feel like a dork asking this....but hey I'm a D* newbie
I know if you are recording something and want to stop it early, just go to the channel and press stop...got that figured out
But what do you do when you set a program to purposely record long. Here is the example from today...by the way its the R15 I have.
Wanted to record the 2nd game of the MN High School Hockey tourney. Guide shows 1-3 but I know it will run longer. Heck the 1st game didnt get over until 1:20. So at 1:40 I hit record to start recording it (I dumped the buffer first...didnt want 45 minutes of gunk at the beginning). Went into the record settings and changed it to record for "1.5 hours more" than the scheduled stop time (3:00) so it would stop at 4:30
So the game got over about 4:00 so I wanted to stop it. It wouldnt let me. Kept getting the "bonk" noise. The only way I got it to work was to hit record again to start the 2nd tuner recording then try and change the channel which gives me the "do you want to continue to record". Then I have 2 recordings...the actual one I want and a qucik garbage recording that I can delete
So now I ask....How do you stop a timer recording that you schedule for longer than the "stock" time? I have recorded NASCAR and had that run long but I wasnt home so it stopped at the time I said for it to.
