DVR starts and ends early and late

When viewing my recorded shows on the DVR most all start about a minute early and end about a minute before show

ends.  Please tell me this can be corrected...

The DVR is programmed to start one minute EARLY and stop two minutes after the scheduled time.  This is called 'soft padding'.  As far as the ending early, the networks will run a popular show late so that people ‘hang around’ and miss the start of other programs.  This is called "bridging".

 

Early starts are how the DVR works.  If you are concerned with missing the end of a show because of this bridging, you could add the time at the end under "record options".
