  Many recordings have wrong synopsis
  
  It's extremely rare that my recordings are affected by programs running late. I would say less than 1% - a lot less than the 12.5% failure rate I experienced with AR last week.

  Many recordings have wrong synopsis
  
  I thought the entire premise with Accurate Recording was that the broadcaster sends a signal exactly when the program starts and stops. If this signal can be several seconds late/early you can miss crucial parts of the recording, which in my view invalidates the entire concept. And if the...

  Many recordings have wrong synopsis
  
  I don't understand how broadcast bitrate is relevant to AR? If AR often cuts a program recording short (by starting late or stopping early) that is of no use to me and I would have to use padding instead. I realize that I would miss out on delayed broadcasts but it seems that the risk of that is...

  Many recordings have wrong synopsis
  
  Sorry for not being clear. The Last Kingdom started "on time" in terms of the beginning of the program. What I meant was that two programs were scheduled for 21:00 so this could have been an explanation for one program starting recording 4s late in relation to the broadcast. But the Channel 4 HD...

  Thanks, but I need a program that runs without manual intervention on the box itself, this would be scripted to run upon startup like convertfiles, Newk etc. Perhaps I should try to convince adrianf36 to extend hmt with a "+setsynopsis" command line parameter :-).
