Set a recording from the web with bad results

[michaelstein]

Set a recording for "Late Show/Colbert" from the web interface...

It started recording at 11:59pm to 1:03am (the duration of the actual program)

However, the program is suppose to start at 11:35pm and end at 12:37am

So, the first 24 minutes of the program are missing!

@michaelstein , yes some sort of screw up there.  I see that the KIRO channel feed shows in the guide as being broadcast from 11:35pm like you mention and I see that is the channel you chose to record from.  I wonder if it somehow got screwed up with the Global channel feed which shows in the guide as being broadcast starting from midnight.  A glitch in the matrix?  I realize you probably will not respond to me and that's totally your right,  Since no one else responded to your post just thought I'd give a suggestion on what may have happened, maybe try again tonight but record the Global channel feed that starts at midnight.

@michaelstein You can get it on demand.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I will watch last night's episode through "On Demand" to catch the beginning.

I also set the recording for this show each night manually, as "Series Recording" will record all of the channels airing it including the delayed Global BC airing.

I don't have the timeshift package.

@michaelstein -- the screen-shot that you included says "11:59" PM. 

That is the start-time on the Global BC channel.

If I tune to KIRO TV, the same show starts at 11:34 PM, but what I actually see is the CRTC-allowed replacement of USA-based KIRO-TV by a Canadian channel -- same program, but with different commercials.

Does this happen to you every night, or is it a one-time glitch?

It seems to have been a one-night glitch. I'll keep an eye on it.

The Global BC airing is at 12:05am each weeknight regardless.

Most of all of the Global O&O's air the show at a delay of the CBS airing in their timezone

except for Alberta (in simulcast with KREM Spokane - 12:35am MT/11:35pm PT)

except for Nova Scotia (in simulcast with WBZ Boston - 12:35am AT/11:35pm ET)

except in New Brunswick (in simulcast with WBZ Boston - 12:35am AT/11:35pm ET)

Global Montreal, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, BC are delayed in their timezone

Another bad recording tonight.

This time i managed to catch the error before it happened. I will include some screenshots to make it clearer to understand.

I wanted to record Saturday Night Live from KING-TV (Seattle NBC)

Usually the program begins at 11:29pm PT but tonight the EPG noted it starts at 11:00pm (which is incorrect) and also gave the

run time of 1 hour (which is also incorrect - it's usually 93 minutes)

What had happened was whoever submits the information to the program guide----somehow mixed up the information.

I manually set the recording myself beginning at 11:29pm PT

Anyways, I watched the LIVE airing 3 hours earlier on Global, but I record the delayed feed because it is the US version and the

picture quality is a little better.

Also, while setting up a recording, to get around the programming guide error, I was unable to set recording end time longer

than 30 minutes. If 60 minutes of additional recording time could have been made available--then it might have worked.

So, unfortunately, the last 30 minutes would not have been recorded. Also, the EPG notes the 11:00pm airing

would have been the 10:00pm airing of an encore/rerun from a few weeks ago. The 11:29pm show was a new

broadcast.
