Since version 1.3.38 the Red button in the Schedule menu immediately creates the timer and marks the event with 'T'. So it can't happen any more that a timer is not confirmed.
I upraded from 1.3.36 to 1.3.40 last weekend and noticed this new behaviour last night. I like it a lot! Much faster than having to press OK after seeing the timer settings (which are generally how I want them anyway!). It just feels slicker now.
Just wait until you want to record a film on, say, ITV2. You know, one of those which is split in half so that they can stick in some other programme, the scheduled start and end times of which are works of fiction.
Can you give an example of this?
Not *specifically* the works-of-fiction bit (I've observed this during live viewing, returning from doing something else while the other programme was supposedly still on only to find that the film had already been resumed), but I can provide plenty of examples of schedule data - this sort of interruption is *very* common; barely a film goes by without one on some channels.
However, the default timer margins should cover this.
And on some other channels (ITV1) they put more than one programme in the way - that's to do with a commitment to showing news at 22:30.
Two examples are attached.
