Has anyone in this thread noted how programmes straddling the clock change are dealt with? I've just started watching Dark Water recorded on BBC1 Saturday, 11.35pm GMT to 2.10am BST (95 minutes) according to the Radio Times, but it has only recorded the first 82 minutes finishing at 00.59, so I guess when the clocks jumped forward at 1am the Humax decided the film must have ended already.
It's that time of year again - pre-empting the clock change cock-up

But littlebird22 didn't mention anything about a recording being made that night so the Hummy would not have turned itself on 10 minutes early for anything. I think it's 15 minutes not 10.

My clock changed correctly in "recording standby", its just that something vital went wrong, and I think the schedule was set in stone from the state of the EPG at the start of the recording, and so it stopped when it realised 01:10 is earlier than 02:00am.”

I have sent a complaint to BBC, but I am not sure its there fault without knowing what was in the playback data.
I have also sent a followup explaining that it wasn't a listings magazine showing the 01:10am end time but the EPG data, but have not yet had a reply.

“Thank you for your e-mail regarding 'Dark Water' broadcast 29 March 2008 on BBC One.
I understand from your e-mail that you are unhappy you missed part of the film on your PVR when the clocks changed to BST.
You state in your e-mail that you had set the PVR to stop at 01:10 but that when the clocks went forward an hour this caused the PVR to stop. I am unsure where the film was listed to finish at 01:10 as all available listings I have found have listed the film as finishing at 02:10, thus incorporating the BST change.
I am sorry for any inconvenience that you may have encountered and if you are able to supply details of the listing you used to get the 01:10 finishing time we may be able to investigate your concerns further.
Thanks once again for taking the time to contact the BBC.

I am so peed off about losing the ending to Dark Water
Thankfully, I have seen the film before so I remembered vaguely what happens (I have had to read the wikipedia entry to remember the exact details) but I wanted to copy it to a disc to keep.

Thank you for replying, but I really think that it must be the Humax's fault, not the BBC in this case, as the recording (of Dark Water) stops at 00:59, just before the clock change.
