Out of nowhere my 622 is out of sync. All my shows are getting cut off a minute early. I think the clock may be 30-1 min off. because it is record the proper length Is anyone having this issue? Anyone have recommendations to correct?
 
I have this happen particularly on Network shows. I just pad the timers a bit (start and end times). If it happens that I have consecutive shows on my OTA tuner (if the shows are not on the same network) I back-it up by recording on a dish SD local (so I can be sure to catch the very beginning or very end of a show).

I never had to do this until recently. Sure this would happen in a rare occurance. But this now seem to happen frequently. I would prefer not to begin padding because that will begin to conflict with other timers.
 
I had this happen in the past every once in a while, but now it seems worse, more shows are getting cut off. E* used to do a good job of updating the guide to reflect these changes, not so much anymore?

I wonder.. This began happening to me right around the time of the last software update. I think there may be a glitch with the clock and timing. I wonder if this latest update will correct?

I hope you're right! It seems I spend as much time changing auto timers (because of the aforementioned conflicts) as I would just creating manual timers on a daily basis.
 
It's happened to me since Day One (March), especially on USA on Sunday night. It's the networks sliding shows a minute or two late. And you've probably been noticing it lately because of the start of the new seasons when they started doing it again.
 
I don't think the problem is the network. I've got Tivo over cable, and it is right on. There are a few shows that run until :02 of the next hour or so, but not many. If it happens regularly, I would think it is an equipment bug.
 
MOstly happens on ABC shows. I started recording say Desperate Housewives and added 60 minute end late to my timer and pick up Brothers and Sisters. Neither recording is cut off then. I get one recording /timer for both show. I did this on a lot of shows I don't want to miss the last few minutes of - Especially on Grey's Anatomy endings.
 
I get it on ABC and CBS shows when I have a following timer on NBC which starts correctly at the beginning for it. I routinely miss 1-2 minutes of the end of the earlier timers.

But I did spot a situation where the DISH time was exactly one minute behind my atomic clocks. Later on, it had corrected itself.

It's the networks. They are purposely running shows long this season. I started recording 2 back to back 60min shows with a single 2 hour timer to get the overlap. Example "Heroes & Journeyman"
 

Why do I need a landline?
