How to set time limit on recording?

[joeijm]

I have seen in DVRs I used before (with cable), where I can set first however minutes I want recorded instead of recording entire tv show.
Ex: I have 60min show, but only wanna record first 15mins.
How can NPVR do this? or can it?

You could use a Manual Recording to do this ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...ings#toc23 ... from the hidden menu ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...denMenuBar

Could OP set post-padding to a negative number? Say..-45?

I tried that before posting. Negative only goes back to -5mins, no more. But positive goes far, I set to +20mins before.
But Manual Recording is what I was looking for.
