Recording 1 hr padding for live sports - gone?
Hi Optik-Kate It appears that the post padding for sports on live streaming sport events running for the first time which increased recording length by 60 minutes no longer works? My recordings ...

Hi Optik-Kate TGIF... another failure to add to the list.
CH925: Golf Channel 14:30 LPGA BMW Ladies Championship, round 1 Thurs 19th Oct. It didn't add the additional hour padding...
It's scheduled at the following 'upcoming' times:
Fri 20th: CH925: Golf Channel 14:30 LPGA BMW Ladies Championship, Round 2
Sat 21st: CH925: Golf Channel 14:30 LPGA BMW Ladies Championship, Round 3
Sun 22nd: CH925: Golf Channel 14:30 LPGA BMW Ladies Championship, Final Round
I don't have a crystal ball, but it probably won't add the 'Hour Padding' to those either 🤔
I miss the old days (and provider) when you could just set a 'Series Recording' once for the LPGA and it would record everything upcoming, on any channel, with whatever additional recording time you had added. Job done!
But now.... with TelusTV-21T I have to:
1. Search on the LPGA Golf App to see when the next event is being broadcast and on what channel.
2. Browse through 4 days of the TV guide and press record on those 4 events.
3. Browse through 4 days of the TV guide and press record on those 4 events immediately following the recording to effectively add additional time to the recording and if that program is only an hour long, recording the following program too.
I also have to be careful that I am recording the live viewing and not a repeat airing on the same day. Although without a TV Guide that shows this is live or repeat, rely on the LPGA App.
Further exacerbated by the 'Option' to choose the next day from the list always jumps to 7p.m. on that day. A forward 24hour button would be nice.
That's a shed load of additional work!
