DVR recording. Increase Start Time

I usually record several programs from Rai Italia and MediaSet (Ch 3280 and Ch 3281). In Record Option, Modify Movie (or Program) Recording,  the maximum in Start is only 2 minutes.

while the Stop is 30 minutes.  The program schedules for these programs is  often wrong and most of times the programs start earlier than 2 minutes.

I would like to request that Xfinity change the Start time to at least 30 minutes.

If they did that, I can hear the complaints now from everybody who is tired of having to fast forward through the first 30 minutes of every recording just to get to their shows.

You can always set up manual recordings - not just for one program at a time, but for a specific day(s) of the week and time(s).

As for getting Xfinity to change how its guide and recording service works, get in (a very long) line. I have been asking for a couple of simple things for over a decade - the ability to single-step through a recording, and the ability to jump forward in the guide an amount less than 24 hours - to deaf ears. On top of that, it's only a matter of time before Xfinity turns my TiVo (which has both of these abilities) into a doorstop, but that's another story...

@ThatDonGuy​ In Record Option, Modify Movie (or Program) Recording is an option that you have to choose. In normal recording the recording will start and end at the listing times.
