When setting up scheduled recordings the recordings are starting almost 3 minutes too early and cutting short end of program. Is there an adjustment I can make to account for this? Time/day is auto, not manually set.
Thanks for help

Is your epg shows correctly ?
You can set an extra recording time by default in the settings from MOL2 if you want , it can help.
Keep us informed !

I have been trying to figure it out since I got my Z8 late last year.
I don't record much, but time shifting does the same thing. I go back a couple of hours to watch a show and I have to fast forward 3-4 minutes into it before the show actually starts, and then the time-slot will end 3-4 minutes before the show is actually over.
In order to see the last few minutes I need to go to the next show on the EPG and watch the first 3-4 minutes to complete the previous show.
I don't know if I am explaining it right but it has always been an issue and I have yet to actually find a fix.
As for recordings, the only work-around I have found is to add 5 minutes to the recordings (it will add to the beginning and the end). Now you have to fast forward 8 minutes at the beginning to the start of the show but will end properly as it is recording an extra 5 minutes at the end.
It is not ideal and hopefully it will be corrected someday.

Thanks Paul
Yeah seems like there is some issue. I get what you’re saying. I wanted to be able to record a series and wonder if adding the 5 min to recording time will be an issue? Maybe not. But seems odd to have to add that much time in order to record correctly.
Sam: any thoughts on this? Thanks

I think it adds recording time for both start and finish of the scheduled recording...
I also believe that the epg on most platforms is generally out because of live show overruns etc for a short amount of time and so it will overlap particularly with catchup.
Maybe Sam could confirm this.

Set the recording in the Grid EPG by pressing the OK button instead of the Record button.
Adjust the start and end time to your heart's content.
