Program Conflict Due to Network Scheduling

[jayw2001]

ABC is playing silly games by adding a minute or two to some programs so that recorders will sense an overlap and not record a program on a competing channel (e.g.: if the ABC program runs from 9:00 PM to 10:01 PM, then Beyond TV cannot record ANY show that begins at 10:00 PM; it can only record the subsequent show on ABC, which begins at 10:01 PM).

Is there a way for Beyond TV to start recording on another channel after the overlap has passed? e.g.: If I've programmed a show to record at 10:00 PM on CBS, it would start that recording at 10:01 PM immediately after the ABC show is done.

I understand that TIVO might now have this feature. It sounds worthwhile, and might actually stop networks like ABC from playing these silly games.

Edit the recording properties to advance the start time or retard an end time to eliminate overlaps.

It is a royal pain. They're all doing it on purpose too.

That's why I have WAY too many tuners
