Changing end time for recordings.
Just joined Telus, I have Optik TelusTV+. I'm trying to change the end time for recordings. Doesn't matter whether it is a single program recording or series, the are no options for doing this? I...
Hi MrSL, the post padding for sports is available to all live streaming sport events that are running for the first time. If they are re-runs, the post padding is not automatically applied. Do you know if you were recording the first run live streaming event on the Golf Channel? Also, the post padding is for extra 60 mins currently, if the event runs more than an hour longer than the scheduled guide time, it won't record past 60 mins.
The user's ability to manually extend is on the roadmap, but as always, I cannot provide a timeline. I can provide an update as we get closer to a release date.
Yeah, thanks FuzzyLogic. I just did a long online chat and it's not yet available. Frankly that's ridiculous (TELUS) like selling you car, but you can only use first gear until they get an update. Should've been working before release.
Series recordings are hit and miss too. Some work, some don't . Even though according to the guide a 'series recording' has been set, but doesn't show on my scheduled recordings. Beginning to regret this move to Telus...

TELUS Team MemberHi MrSL, a frequently mentioned workaround for extending recording includes recording the show that immediately follows the event.
That said, we are rolling out a solution that auto extends recording by 90 mins for tennis and 60 mins for any other sport and it will be available within the next week or so.
Hi Optik-Kate Well at least that's something (for sports). I know about the workaround, that's obvious, but defeats the object of setting, in particular, series recordings. Made more annoying as the Telus remote has no 'button' to skip to the next day when viewing the guide. As for any other recordings I like to add an extra 3-5 minutes. Nothing more annoying than watching something and you miss the last minute...

Hi MrSL I have a couple of good news. The auto post padding for sports (Tennis 90m, sports 60m) is out with the latest release.
To skip to the next day, press "options" on your remote and it will bring up the ability to "jump to date". You can also filter your guide via subscribed or favourite channels.
- And lots of award shows & other live events overrun frequently as well. Even pre-recorded Tony award extended about 30s after 00 mark on eastern channels, let alone Oscars.
