Shows being clipped for no apparent reason

Posted on Saturday, February 11, 2006 by MegaZone

A few days ago I started seeing reports of shows being clipped for no apparent reason – recordings ending 5 minutes early, etc. Over the past couple of days I have seen these reports with increasing frequency in various TiVo forums, blogs, journals, etc, around the net. It is starting to seem like this may be a bug in the new Overlap Protection feature. Some users who have experienced the truncated recordings have reported that turning off Overlap Protection on their systems has caused the behavior to vanish. I thought I’d pass that along, just in case.
