Tonight I had to go out so I recorded the Champions league final to watch later. I watched the 90 minutes..... I watched the extra time..... I watched the penalties up to 3-3...... Didier Drogba started his run up to take his penalty..................... and the recording finished What a load of tossers they are at ITV

That was the natural finishing time of the show. Had the game ended after regular time they'd have just finished talking.

Its not ITV's fault you didn't plan incase the game went to additional time.

It is if ITV did not alter the EPG data on going to ET and penalties.

My Freesat boxes had the new time on the EPG showing that the Football finishing at 23:10 then it changed again to show that the Football was finishing at 23:30,
as regards to the Recordings I am not sure what happened as I did not record the Football

The whole point of Accurate Recording is that the broadcaster has control of data that starts and stops a Freeview+/Freesat+ pvr recording to cover exactly this situation.

I've seen ITV do this before on Freesat - a few weeks ago the Touring Cars on ITV4 overran by half an hour, and although they did extend the EPG entry they seemed to do so too late and so the recording had already stopped as per the original entry. (I was watching live by that point so I could see this happening.)

Joys of allowing a 3rd party to do your thinking,

Hi there, I have a humax and it recorded the whole event, I only pressed 'record programme' what box do you have?

Hi, I've got a Humax HDR.

My recording says (Actual date and time SAT19MAY 18:59~23:30) and SAT19MAY 19:00~22:25.

What was the actual end time of the Program?

Roland

not sure of the exact time but it was just as Drogba started his run up to take the winning penalty

I've seen this before with ITV when recording BGT. I don't record sports though, I always watch them live.
