Clock adjustment

[Southcross]

I've noticed that some channels are horrible at start and stop times.... i.e. Comedy Central loves to butt one show right up to the next with no commercials in the middle. So most (dang near all) of my "back-to-back" shows have the ending of the show previous and missing the end of the show being recorded... or visa versa!

I'd love to be able to go to a "clock control panel" and 1. be able to manually adjust the TiVo clock (+/- 15s can be an entire opening to an episode) and 2. be able to + or - on specific channels. Essentially it would "add" or "subtract" from the start/end time of SPs or Suggestions that record from that channel.

You do have the ability to add time to start or end of recordings, its called padding.

[ThAbtO]

No global settings; whether it SP or individual recordings, go into options for the padding, add 1 min or up to 3 hrs to start or end of program.

then that's NOT what I'm talking about ;)

TiVo's time is pretty accurate (within a second wrt a clock that sets itself to NBS daily) so any "tweakage" would be to account for inaccuracies in specific channels/networks. IMO a more reasonable request would be a per channel offset to attempt to account for these inaccuracies. Note the use of "attempt" - I would be surprised if the offsets stayed accurate for long.

per channel offset to attempt to account for these inaccuracies. Note the use of "attempt" - I would be surprised if the offsets stayed accurate for long.probably very true... but the tendancy I've noticed is that they do seem consistent of starting a specific time late, missing the beginning and ultimately recording the beginning of the next show, on certain channels. But sense its a "global" thing (i.e. anything that happens to record on a specific channel) it happens to SP and Suggestion recordings. since you can't "pad" a suggestion... the "suggestion" is mute

It seems that ever show on every channel on my Bedroom unit is recording almost 1 full minute late, season passes AND suggestions. It would be super nice to be able to adjust the TiVo clock :super deep sigh:

I tried tuning to channel Zero, doing a manual "Connect to TiVo Service"... didn't help, maybe by about 15 seconds... Still, it misses the beginning of almost every single suggestion it records

I would like to add another thumbs up to this suggestion. It would be nice to adjust the whole "clock" on Tivo by 15 or 30 seconds.
