another offender of program overrun is sports, but Dish has a feature to extend the recording a hour for sports events, but it wont help if the games goes way too long due to overtime (or extra innings in baseball) or weather delay if sport is played outdoors. Same thing goes for auto racing as a race can be red flagged for wrecks or a rain delay that wets the track to the point it needs to be dried off and that takes hours, but NASCAR has come up with a way to speed it up using a thing called Air Titan.
