Recording a delayed show - Options?

[KenB123]

I have the new "Amazing Race" scheduled to auto-record (7:00PM - 8:00PM Sunday Central time). Unfortunately, this show frequently gets delayed by a late ending football game. CBS pushes everything back accordingly. Well, when 7:00PM triggers, CBS is still broadcasting "60 Minutes". The "Amazing Race" is scheduled until 8:00PM, therefore at 8:00PM the recording is considered finished, and I am left watching an incomplete show.

Is this just the way it is? Or are there options I am not considering?

I had this problem with Cold Case so what I did was extend the recording by 30 minutes. That seemed to cover me. Now with Amazing Race, I record it for the regular time and then Cold Case for 1 1/2 hours. This week football went over so when I was ready to watch Amazing Race, I just fast forwarded to the beginning and then watched the end on my Cold Case recording.

Hope that helps.

Use of the Options button, setting Manual timers or extending recording time if you happen to be watching it can help.

now I remember why I don't record the Networks on sunday Nights.

I always just set my recorder to record the show in question, along with the show that follows it. That way you have a full "extra" hour after the show you want to watch to cover yourself, and hopefully not miss anything.

I would think you would be better off to just extend the time by an extra 60 minutes in that case. Then all of the show is together. I find it kind of a pain when the show just stops in the middle even thought I know I have it continuing on a 2nd recording. Granted, if it goes on time, you can't just delete the other show off and gain the 60 minutes back.
