If this had been recorded without any padding then the last minute would have been missed! But, because of the new padding feature the whole episode was caught, meaning you never miss a second of your favourite show. The white markers on the playback bar indicate when Horror signalled the start and end of the programme and in this case they signalled the end just over a minute early. In this screenshot Star Trek has been recorded on Horror with 5 minutes of start and end padding. We’ve also added markers to the playback bar for where the broadcaster signalled the start and end of the recording: You can change this behaviour so that recordings always start from the recorded start by going to: Settings > Recording & Playback > Padding Options > Playback Start. If for some reason the broadcaster signalled the start late, you can simply rewind back to catch the beginning. So, to avoid this, by default when you start playing a recording it will start from the signalled start rather than the recorded start. The same applies if you have two consecutive recordings on different channels and a recording on another channel that overlaps both of these recordings.Īs broadcasters usually signal the start and end of recordings correctly, it gets really annoying having to fast forward through the padding to the actual start of the recording. It’s important to note that if you have two consecutive recordings on the same channel then the padding between them will be ignored – the first recording will end at the scheduled time and the next recording will start at the scheduled time. In our testing we’ve found that 5 minutes of padding is plenty so have set this as the default to be added to the start and end, however you can change this to any amount from 2 to 10 minutes. Go to: Settings > Recording & Playback > Padding Options > Padding Type > Manual. If you’re finding that some of your recordings are starting late or finishing early, we’ve added the option to change from this automatic behaviour and instead add a customisable amount of padding to the start and end of all recordings. However, sometimes broadcasters get it wrong, particularly on the more niche channels. This broadcaster signalling is normally very accurate and means recordings start and stop exactly when they should. This is because programmes almost never start or end at the exact scheduled time – they're usually a minute or two early or late, and sometimes even more. The T3-R normally starts and stops recording when the broadcaster signals that the programme starts and ends. Select ‘Confirm’ when you can see the picture.
