Hi, is it possible to extend recorded program times, getting fed up with the recording stopping before the end, very frustrating.

Hi @Higworth
If I remember correctly this is down to the broadcaster not the box/firmware. This is why you use series link and record the program afterwards in case of a break or news etc.

As @Northerner says, the best you can do is to record the following programme as well 😢
YouView boxes use a system known as Accurate Recording, where the broadcaster sets the start and end points, which they should adjust if programmes run over; but few broadcasters do this.
YouView could have implemented padding, where users can manually add a bit of extra time fore and aft, but they chose instead to rely on AR. Which, without broadcaster sanctions from Freeview, will never work as it should 😢
However, a few examples - channel, programme, expected end time, actual end time - can sometimes shame the broadcasters into doing better.
