System-wide clock bias as Mystro workaround

[HTH]

With the problem Mystro software soon to be pushed out by Time Warner Cable as their new Navigator to all customers nationwide, I think it is more important now than ever that we have an option to bias the clock in the TiVo, if only by 1-10 seconds, so that bugs on the cable box that causes it to crash or tune the wrong channel are avoided. As it stands, I have had to turn off the TiVo-exclusive feature of Suggestions to avoid my cable box crashing on the channel change at the moment guide the box's data updates on the hour and half-hour on the channel being left.

Alternatively, TiVo, please soft-pad your recording of your Teleworld Paid Program by one minute before and after to also avoid this problem

I've discovered an alternate workaround for Time Warner Cable's mystro software glitching on channel changes on the hour and half hour. Apparently the box only sets its clock at boot time, and it will drift over time. I thought the bug itself had gone, so I was able to enjoy about a month of being able to record Suggestions again, until one day when all three boxes locked up. Last night I had failed channel changes and restarts of the cable boxes controlled by TiVos.

So it is a rather pernicious bug. The more it is triggered, the more likely it will be triggered again. So again, I ask for an update of the TiVo software to work around this with an option to add a few-second clock bias system-wide.
