Live Sports run longer than the guide slot

I keep seeing on screensaver where it claims that live sports will autoextend the recording time if the game runs long.  That's not happening for the USFL Football, I've missed the end of three games now because of this.  What's the deal with the false advertising?

It's a new feature and not 100% perfect. Always set a recording for the show after your sports events just in case.

@ArceeDub USFL might not be included in auto-extension. Here's a hint. When you book a program to be recorded (sports type) and if it's a candidate to be auto-extended, you will see a small icon (with a plus + sign green colored) appearing right next to when the program is airing - try this and verify yourself. I've seen NFL, NCAA, MLB, NBA, NHL, PGA, ATP, WTA, and almost all soccer leagues programs getting the auto-extension icon.

As far as I’m concerned cut the sports off at the correct time so other shows are not messed up!
