Thanks Madeleine, no, I think it was last Sunday's 'result' show. So we just miss the end, we've started recording the show afterwards to help with that :)

I think the other problem we are having is that we've gone from Foxtel IQ2 to the Topfield (with IceTV) and we probably start watching the show about 20-30mins after it has started. On the Foxtel, when we caught up to live TV it would be pretty clear. However, with the Topfield it just ends the playback without notice, and normally we are on Ch9 and don't know what's happened as it appears to 'skip forward' to live TV without notice.  This I know is a Topfield thing, not an IceTV thing.

We are also taping Masterchef at the same time, so I don't know if doing that (and timeshifting) at the same time isn't really helping.
We are getting there with it, I just wondered what the other ideas out there were, and I've certianly got some things to try.

Thanks again.

Thanks.

Yeah, ordinarily 30mins overrun should work, but for some reason this is the first time I've encountered it as a problem

I know it's not really an ICETV thing, shame we can't have them set the timing of the show to overrun the next one just in case, and start the next one 'on time', but I figure the PVR itself would complain about that.

Really, it's the wife's fault for watching this 'reality' TV stuff.

Thanks for the advice, I might go the manual for the 'score reveal' episodes to keep me in the good books ;)

I'm not sure which section this should go in, so I'll try here.

Basically, we are series recording the block, but Ch9 let it run way over time. I've added the max 30 minutes to the end of the recording on the Topfield (2400) but still seem to be missing the end.

I know this is more about Ch9 than IceTV, but any other tips/thoughts out there? I'm guessing the simplest is to either record the show that comes on after it, or set up a manual record of say 2 hours on channel nine that should capture the block?

Anyway, any help/thoughts appreciated.
