Delay Before Recording Starts

[amadams]

I am using GBPVR 1.2.9 with an HVR-1600. When I schedule a recording, I'm having to prepad by at least 4 minutes to ensure the recording starts on time. I will be in live TV before the recording is supposed to start and the recording won't start until the final minute before the show starts. I verified my PC and Satellite STB times are in sync so that's not it. Any suggestions would be helpful.

[K.S.]

that's behaviour by design. padding is only added if there is a tuner available. if you have 2 recordings back to back (i.e. 1. 19:00-20:00 / 2. 20:00-22:00) or you use your only tuner to view live tv prior to a recording it won't record the padding.

Yep, correct. Padding is always treated as "optional". It'll record it if the device isnt in use by something else...
