While the option to add/subtract minutes from the start/end times is appreciated, I wonder if there would be an interest in an option to start and/or end on the hour or half hour. So many of these programmers are running 1-5 minutes over the hour on shows. I think it’s just to mess with people who DVR shows.
Anyway, I would rather miss a minute or two (or five) of a show and not have the Tablo not record a following show because of a couple minute conflict. If we could have a global or even a ‘by the show’ setting to stop over runs or early starts, it might be helpful. Just a thought.
Also, is there any chance that we could get a pop up of a conflict when we start the Tablo app? I try to check weekly for conflicts but I forget sometimes.
This is like, but with the option to dismiss the notification for an hour, a day or a week cause it could get annoying like the firmware update notification if you don’t do it right away.
While you’re waiting, tablo has options to only start early or end later – here’s a hack to start late or end early, you could loose a minute on one to get an entire show…
Of course it’s not ideal. It’s relatively easy to do, well it’s a PITA, but something tablo isn’t interested implementing. I don’t have it bookmarked, there was some comment about not confusing user maybe.
Depending how important it is, APL Tablo, a 3rd party app has this function built-in. Schedule adjustment by the minute +/- both start and end times.
I actually want a 1 minute end early option now too. Check out this BS below, CTV has the show going to 10:01 which creates a recording conflict on a 2 tuner for no real reason.
We were trying to limit the number of options available in order to keep things simple. We felt that the 2 minute option would cover the most use cases.
At one time, this may have been more applicable, then now?
Not sure if it was meant as an April Fool’s Day joke -
The topic showed how to edit HTML to adjust start/end times as needed… Although, not directly addressing the ease and possibility of this feature.
I don’t know why the networks schedule programs to end 1 minute past the hour but in this case this is because of the simulcast of the next program Rebel that starts at 10:01 PM on ABC.
