To be fucked off with TiVo

Not bloody recording the whole of a program?

I've just sat here and watched murdered by my boyfriend that I recorded ages ago and it's not recorded the last few minutes.

It's not on catch up, I just checked, so I've missed the ending.

If it couldn't record it all because it was going to clash or whatever then tell me and don't bloody record it.

So annoying!

Mine does this too. It's rubbish! I've practically stopped using mine as it's so unreliable.

It's still showing on iplayer as I noticed it earlier.

There's a way to make it record longer, check in settings

Yep, Sky box has an option to start recording 5ms before the show starts and keep recording 5m after. Maybe yours does to, check your settings?

Rita I can't find it on I player, I've just double checked :(

And if I extend the recording time it's then going to mess with the start of the next program, isn't it?
I just need it to record from say 9-10pm but it's like it gives up a few minutes towards the end :(

Are you recording 3 different things at once?

I don't think it'll be TiVo's fault. It's channels not putting things on when they should.

How long is the program length when you go on to it on TiVo? It's probably the tv channel putting it on slightly late. I have ours set to add 3 mins and it doesn't mess anything up unless there's three recording.
You can check in my recordings to see if anything is due to clash in the next week. You can also set priorities on the series links so if there is a clash, more important things will take priority
