I wish my Comcast box would pass commercials. I just fast forward. There is
one for a credit card which I loath and have trouble pushing the button fast
enough. Also Comcast has this special feature of latency. It starts
recording the program about 30 seconds early and consequently ends the
recording 30 seconds early. The last few seconds where the narrator gives a
resolution gets cut off. If you add a minute to the recording time then that
bleeps up a subsequent recording because it only records two at one. If I
could get a better system I would, why should this be a problem with
computers doing all the work? Any ideas?


Maybe a new box?

I have DirecTv and there is usually a few seconds before and after. If
I record two shows in a row, the first one still has a few seconds at
the end and the next one starts a few seconds early. I can record four
shows at once. Never misses unless there is a late start because of a
football game. On Sunday night I have 60 Minutes record 2 hours just in
case.
