I record Blues hockey, college basketball and everything I record extends the time automatically. Using a Dtv stream box and side loaded app on my android tv.

This is a relatively new feature. So far it only seems to work on some sporting events.

Thanks Ludwick557. Hopefully this will work for me. I have not had an overtime or shootout hockey game for a while. For the moment i record the program after. Last weeks drag race went 6 minutes into the next 2.5 hour long program

None of the live Friday Saturday or Sunday motorsports programs recorded further that the allotted time, and they all finished after. The hockey game did go into overtime and a shootout and the DVR did record the entire game. So that is good, just need for it to record all sports.

i found this about 7 clicks in. 

Note: Sports recordings are automatically extended where content continues to stream beyond the programmer’s scheduled time. Applies to the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA leagues, NCAA Football and Basketball (Division I), Soccer (UEFA, FIFA) and PGA Tour Golf.
