End is cut off when I record the next show on the same channel with DVR

[hisashiy]

Let's say, I record a show from 9:00 to 10:00 and the next show from 10:00 to 11:00, both are on the same channel.  The last several seconds of the show ending 10:00 is cut off, even if I extend the ending time by 1 minute since the recording of the next show from 10:00 already started.  It can't record both at the same time if they are on the same channel.  I saw some people had the same problem in this forum long time ago but still no solutions.  Could it be solved if I change or fix the DVR?  Mine is Motorola's.

Thanks.

Its an issue with the content providers.

They run the shows over a few seconds.

It should be picked up at the very beginning of the next show.

Thank you for your comment.

With Tme Warner Cable DVR I could record two shows on the same channel without being cut off by extending the end time by one minute. But the Fios DVR stops recording the first show as soon as the second show starts. No overlapping.

Thank you for your comment.

I have noticed the channel provider's problems of the time lag. But with Time Warner Cable, I could record 9:00 - 10:01 and 10:00 - 11:01 (between 10:00 and 10:01 it records both shows on the same channel) so that end of the first show is never cut off even it start recording the latter show.

Something unusual then with the Time warner box.  I've seen similar problems as the verizon box on Brighthouse, DirecTv, Dish and Comcast DVR's.
