Recording Multiple Shows that end at 9:01 makes 9:00 show not record
Thursday nights are crowded. Our DVR records three shows from 8-9:01, and when another show comes on at 9, it totally skips the show because of a one minute overlap. How do I fix this?

Setup a manual recording that ends at 9pm of one of the 9:01 endings, you know there's just commercials in that last minute anyways. 😉

It has nothing to do with soft padding which starts a recording 1 minute prior to the scheduled start time and ends the recording 2 minutes after the scheduled end time. There are a number of program in the Guide with a scheduled ending time of 1 minute after the hour such as 9:01 pm mentioned by the OP. The only workaround to the OP's problem is to do manual recordings that Chris mentioned.

You do get four streams into the house?? And we are talking HD?? Can you live with one of the shows SD? Might try that. The DVR is connected to the least used TV?? Watching on the DVR counts against the usage.
The episode based recording does not allow decreasing the end & the time based recording is one episode only. So, you could do the time based each week or hit the record live each week.
You could ask for another DVR. But, do it after you are up to date on watching your records because you will be starting your library from scratch.

The OP is hitting a hard show ending that can only be fixed by my manual recording method above, has nothing to do w/soft padding or defective DVR. 😉

The bad thing is that for many Reality / Game / Competition type shows that have an actual end time other than :00 or :30, is that if you end the recording early, you will never find out who won. Davcing with the Stars and American Idol are perfect examples! Idol that ends at 9:01, the results never begin until 9 O'clock and 40 seconds, lol. Seriously.

1) This forum solved my problem recommending I Manually add NCIS (9:00-10:01) and make the end time 10:00. This worked.
2) Confussed: Clearly ATT advertises to record 4 shows at once. This overlapping show above was a third, leaving me only able to record 2 show. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ATT PROGRAMMING ISSUE. FIX IT!!! OR COX CABLE, HERE I COME.
3) I am so done calling and chatting with the Phillipines. it was pulling teeth to explane this problem to them/ If I don't receive a response within the next" an example. BRING C.S BACK TO US. DELL LEARNED THEIR LESSON THE HARD WAY.

@Jllogan111, this is a user to user forum. Users are telling other users how to best use the AT&T equipment as it currently functions. Users cannot change the software. Perhaps it could be more user friendly. But it was cutting new ground when the Whole Home DVR functionality was released 5-6 years ago.
AT&T has announced its unifying its platforms between DIRECTV and U-verse TV. I expect things will be a lot different shortly.
