Telus Optik TV not too smart when it comes to recording sports?

[Ingebelle]

My husband recorded 3rd round of golf. The game started later than scheduled and the n cut off at the scheduled end. Miss my Bell TV -which figured out when program really ended, especially sports. I know how to set recording so it continues past regularly scheduled end, but I cannot predict if it will go over the regular end time. Can Telus improve their pvr?

You can adjust the end time for recordings to go past the scheduled time if you like. I always add an hour for hockey in case it goes into overtime. 

So Bell system automatically knows when overtime, extra holes, extra innings etc. happens? I wonder how they do it.

You could add your thoughts to the 'Ideas' section. 

As far as I know, the PVR draws the time and channel to record shows from the information supplied by the broadcasters or by the suppliers of the channel guide. I, too, wonder how Bell does the automatic changes you describe!

Bell doesn't automatically record longer lengths. You can set it to go X amount of time past though..
