Hopper Tuner and Prime Time question

[MikeD-C05]

I'm just impressed. Can't wait to see it in action.

Just checked my recording in my tv series file this morning and sure enough , The Good Wife starts at the beginning of the recording like it should and continues on for most of the Mentalist that followed, all with auto hop. But I don't watch the Mentalist. I only extend it to catch any over runs from football .

Excellent! Thanks much

Got a PTAT timer question.
Twice while going through my new PTAT timers and telling it to record a series I mistakenly told it to record all instead of just New.
Both times it took an act of God to find my way back to the screen that lets you choose "New, New and reruns and All."
Is there an easy way to get back to that screen as all the Edit this and Edit that buttons are very cryptic as to just what they do?

It may be quicker to delete the existing timer then set up a new correct one.

Press DVR, then Select then Timers. Find the timer in the list and choose Edit.

Thanks, hopefully I will not make that mistake again in the future.
I was trying to click on the show again from the guide and get to it that way but it was extremely difficult to find the correct screen again.
I appreciate the reply.

Ah, but what happens with the last hour in the prime time block, if all the shows are delayed due to football? Will PTAT record past 11:00 if the programming is delayed?

No. I don't belive it will. I turn off PTAT on Sat and Sun and make separate timers for each show because of football overruns. I pad 60 minutes on the timer.

It has so far. IF the football games go over the whole prime time shows on that channel go over too. For example I have noticed that The Good Wife has moved to 8:30pm central time on my guide and the Mentalist has moved to 9:30pm central time. This has been a recent change in the last few weeks. The PTAT has also moved to cover the entire line up. At one time I had a 90 minute pad on my timer and the shows were all there including the news too.

Those guide changes are something that CBS has done themselves, I believe, as my guide on my 722 shows the same times (30 minutes later than normal). I have seen the shows start even later than the guide says, however, so are you sure the end of the last show in primetime isn't getting cut off in PTAT (not your padded timer)?
