ALL of my recordings start early, big hassle to fast forward every time

When I schedule a DVR recording for  a specific time, my DVR  always starts recording one or two minutes early.  It is a big hassle to always have to fast forward my show to start watching it.  Who is the incompetent engineer at ATT Uverse who can't start a recording on time?  This is ridiculous!

Tailgate/Camping

I have a Slimeline dish for the house. I purchased a 18" round dish (not completely round it is oval but only has one LNB) to tailgate with. I cannot get the receiver (D12-300) to save the 18 inch dish settings. Everytime I try to do the signal strength test it tells me i have a tilt of 71 degrees.
