Pressing the record button from Live TV does the correct thing in that it records the show you are watching from now until it ends. It would be nice though to have a way to extend past the end time of a given show. This comes up fairly often when watching sports programs. After being burned

I don't know how hard it would be, but the first keypress could be record to the end of this show, and subsequent presses would extend by either 30 minutes or to the end of the next show. This might be bad if you overshoot your intended end time and have to go through 14 days of guide data

I understand that... but my point is exactly that I DON'T want to depend on the EPG or the currently running program. I want to be able to do a manual record for however long I want (30 minutes, 1 hour, whatever). The whole reason is that the EPG is NOT always reliable. A main example is when it
