I am guessing TiVo does this as they think 1tb is large enough for the extra odd half hour of HD not to be noticed.
recording buffer
I recorded something on Sunday which had already started on one of the tuners and found when playing it back that unlike the S1 not only did Tivo record what I wanted but it included a good 30min before what I wanted as it just took the entire buffer instead of trimming to the start of the program I wanted.
When playing back it did start at the program start point, but 30minutes before the program is wasted space and could be huge if on a HD channel.

1 TB doesn't seem so large when the majority of your recordings are in HD! (The new TiVo can record as many hours in HD as my old one could in SD.)cyril said:I am guessing TiVo does this as they think 1tb is large enough for the extra odd half hour of HD not to be noticed.
TiVo's don't really have the horsepower to start editing MPEG streams on the fly. Making the buffer a recording is just renaming it in the database and later launching a fresh buffer file.
Not editing at per frame level, but its always worked at chunk level (which IIRC is about a second of video).
