No PVR records Sports Overtimes correctly

Don't get me wrong there are many other reasons for building a PVR but this is a bid deal and should be addressed by someone more sooner than later!

Address it how? Nobody knows, including the stations what sports game is going to run over and for how long.

About the only thing you can do is add a lot of padding to your sporting events and a lot for shows that typically run after sporting events.

Sometimes I think people need to think about their gripes before they say anything. An EPG is just like the weekly T.V guide you get, it isn't like that suddenly changes when a game runs long. No one can get that 100%. If you were recording everything with a VCR, it isn't like it would be any better. Like everyone has said, I just always make sure to record past any sporting event, and if I am recording anything after a sporting event (like 24 tonight), I just make sure to leave padding at the end of the episode!
