hit the cutoff, man

little bit of a bummer on the tivo front. taped the lakers-pistons game 5 while i was away. unfortunately it only records the time that has been blocked out for the event. and, of course, sporting events often dont conform to their preconfigured time slots. so with x number of minutes left, the recording stopped. not what i call user friendly. in fact, a user could get pretty unfriendly if that problem lingers.
