Ok, as promised here is my findings based upon last nights recordings. BTW, I know that it was a risk, but I updated to 3.3.8.
[HTML]CTV - CSI - extended 38 minutes -- not needed
CBS - Madam Secretary - started at 8:00pm, show actually ended at 1:28:25, recording 1:37:56
Global - Madam Secretary - started and ended on time (1:00)
CBS - Good Wife - started at 9:00pm, [didn't get actual end time, 12G file did not stream nice to my wifi laptop], recording, 1:37:59
Global - Good Wife - started and ended on time (1:00)[/HTML]
So overall, looking good. I actually would have thought that start times would would have been moved back, instead of starting on time, and just adjusted but lengthening. With that said, what I saw is probably safer anyways, as web site that you get the sports start/stop time might not get updated right away, plus you would have to hammer the site every second or so, as not to miss any of the show.
What I did find a little particular though was the end time was off by about 9.5 minutes, but I think that might be your post game padding that I think I read about in the thread.
One interesting item is that CSI on CTV was extended by 38 minutes when it was not needed. I suspect that it picked up CBS extra 28 minutes plus 10 min post game, normally i would have though nothing of it, because you probably don't differentiate the channel but the show itself. Plus considering that your biggest target audience is the States, alt channels for the same program is a non-issue, but what makes it strange is that the two CBS shows on Global did NOT have the extended recording windows. It is probably a side effect of the Madam Secretary and Good Wife being record on two channels simultaneously while CSI was only recorded on one.
Once again that is a great tool. I would have loved to have it last year, as there where plenty of shows that where miss recorded due to Football, Golf, etc.
