TELUS Team MemberAll recordings have 2 mins added pre and post, live sports have 60 mins added past the scheduled end time (90 minutes for tennis). It looks like PTI is flagged as a live sports event by our guide data provider, so 1h32 tracks.
Programmable start and end times at a global level are relatively easier; at the individual user level they are somewhat more complicated. As such, the team does try to proactively identify shows that historically run long (Golden Globes, Oscars etc.) and add post-time. We also retroactively add post-padding to unforeseen overruns (SNL 50th anniversary special).
Another pet peeve:
The channel (ch) up/dn remote button does not track with My Favorites. The only way, currently, is to scroll through My Favorites with the Guide wheel.
Old habits (conveniences) die hard. It's always been the default for channel changing and other family members share the frustration of defaulting to the ch button, and then having to choose Guide, scroll, hit enter, etc.
Interestingly, the ch button will scroll through All Subscribed Channels. So given it's married up to that group it seems reasonable that it wouldn't be a stretch to marry it up to My Favorites, no?
Otherwise, the ch button is redundant. Dare I say, it's essentially useless. Just taking up space!
Is there any dev consideration to marry up the ch remote button to My Favorites?
