Virgin Media V+ - CUTTING THE END OFF PROGRAMMES

TBeckett100

Has anyone else noticed that the V+ is cutting the end off programmes it records or those on pick of the week.

you watch 99% of the programme and miss the last crucial moment.

It is possible to change the amount of time it records before and after the programme, somewhere in the settings.

It states in the manual online that you can extend time on a programme on page 17 of the online user manual from the virgin site.

I cant say I have noticed this, mine starts 2 mins prior and 2 mins after the recording schedule, maybe mine was already set.

Yes mine has been doing the same lately too.
It keeps missing the end of Big Brother and used to miss the end of Children Fighting Cancer on BBC 1.
I have extended the recording time and it still does it.

Mine does this too but only on channel 185 (probably does it on other channels too but I only record shows from 4 channels so I haven't tested it fully ). I watched while I recorded the other day, the box recorded at the right times but the program (Dirt - how great is that) started a few minutes late so it cut the end off.

It seems to work from the scheduled time, not the actual time the channel eventually decides to start it

I've V+ Dirt and am hoping it hasn't done the same for me.

they say you learn something new today, hopefully no more chopped off manually recorded programmes, i am sure pick of the week programmes will continue to be cut short!
