End of shows getting cut off?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: IndyMark

This is my wife's one major gripe about TiVo. The show that immediately comes to my mind is Friends on NBC. We have a season pass and pretty much every week, it cuts off the last 30-60 seconds of the show - the last little bit after the credits, etc. I know it also happened on The Apprentice a week or so ago and we missed the final comments of Omarossa.

I'm guessing this is the fault of NBC and not TiVo. Am I right and is there anything I can do about it?

NBC is stealing minutes to make more ad revenue. Unless you run NBC, there's nothing you can do about (do complain to them though).

Add padding to your NBC recordings if you aren't recording anything directly after it. If you are, there really isn't anything you can do.

According to Jim seems to run over by several minutes every week. It's very annoying. Not anything you can do except complain to the networks and stop watching.

Don't blame TiVo, blame NBC and the others that can't hold to their scheduled start/stop times. You have to pad the times for those networks.

It only takes one clipped-short show (or JIP for that matter) for me to adjust the padding for the rest of a season pass. It's somewhat inelegant (and potentially problematic), but it gets the job done.
