-- is sent to DirecTV, the system obviously works:
Watched OTA Local for Super Bowl. Rather than guess at padding, I simply told the HR20 to record Criminal Minds [which I wanted to watch] and the Local News [which is predictably mediocre] after the game.
Watched the game from Recorded side. But, virtually the whole game I strayed no further behind than a couple minutes. By the after-game back-patting, I'd shoved it ahead to as close as real time as possible.
Then, looking at the time, I realized the Game Recording had gone beyond the scheduled -- but, it carried on just fine. Partway into Criminal Minds, I switched over to the CM recording > saw it recording just fine > deleted the Super Bowl recording > proceeded to finish watching CM as a recording.
And that recording carried through to the end > and on into the news broadcast > even though well beyond the scheduled time. Deleted the CM recording > switched into the news > etc..
This suggests another experiment sometime today. Because it appeared that scheduling a couple programs like that -- presuming correct Guide data -- I could have stayed with the first and watched all the way through the following.
Oh -- and Earl, I'm sorry for your loss.
