how to change the 2 Hr recording default

I use Sage TV for Digital QAM pay channels that I get. About 28 channels in total.

I watch what others are watching and also live with the live pauses when viewers pause the shows for what ever reason.

My only issue is that every 2 Hours the file stops and a new file is created.
Is there any way that I can make a single recording longer than 2 hours.

I have a limit of 40 GIG for my recoding directory.

I ususally just scan the channels or leave it on a popular pay channel and let it record.

I hope this makes sense.

Sorry I'm new with Sage TV. I used Win TV for the longest time but had enough of the daily crashes.

Do you have guide data associated with this "on-demand" stream you are picking up?

no guide I dont use a guide at all

I manually enter in the channels.

such as 79-0-3 / 79-0-4 / 79-0-5 and so on all the way to 81-0-10

I just pick a channel and wait for something to start. Once it starts the recording will go on for 2 hours but many times its a movie after a movie.

I could manually asked it to record more than 2 hours but I cant bothered I rather change the default to something like 4-6 hours.

Use Schedule Recordings -> Create Timed Recording instead of the Record command to specify a recording length for channels w/o EPG data.

Or, once the Manual recording has been started, use the Record command on the airing again in the Program Guide (it will be listed as a 2 hour block of No Data), choose Adjust Recording Options, then use Adjust Stop Time.
