Missing the end of DVR shows

Question

Very frustrating issue here.  Seems probably 80-90% of everything we DVR on 2 different units typically has the last 10-20sec cut off.  I realize this can happen from time to time because of a mis-match between broadcast schedules and actual show timing but we have it in the overwhelming majority of everything we record which can easily be 6-10 shows every day.  Extending the record time isn't an option in most cases because we often have 2 shows back to back and that would cause a conflict.  We rarely had this issue with our previous provider. I find it hard to believe this doesn't drive others crazy as well.

Answer 1

I was a DirecTv subscriber for over 10 years and never had the cutoff issues that exist with Verizon's QIP-7232 DVR. With 80-90 percent of the shows' endings from various stations getting cutoff, the culprit's not broadcast timing. It appears the recording system designers didn't make enough allowance for small timing variations. Or there may be a flat-out glitch in the Verizon system recording timing.
Seems like the most reasonable patch fix is to add a feature (perhaps to the "In-Home Agent" menu), allowing the user to modify the DVR's clock to be ahead or behind by, say, up to 120 seconds.  That would do it!  Especially in these situations where the timing error is the same and repeats on most show recordings. Yes I know Verizon will replace the DVR, but there go all my recordings and the fix is not guaranteed (might end up with no recorded shows and same problem).
So how about adding a clock adjustment feature, Verizon?
