ITV AR issues

I seem to be experiencing a number of problems recording ITV1 (SD region South, Rowridge transmitter)

Both episode of the Tower have truncated the last few minutes of recordings (annoying) including duplicate recording on ITV1+1
Lingo has recorded for 75 minutes while Tipping point hasn't recorded (apart from the Lingo overrun)

I have converted the recordings to padded for the time being.

Has anyone seen similar issues recently
 
Yes, noticed it for The Tower on ITV1 at 21:00 (different region). They recorded for an hour cutting off the last few minutes.
 
Just checked my ITV program recorded with AR on Sunday and it's started at the right time recorded everything. So not a channel wide issue.
Just realised, my program was ITV HD
 
Can't see any problems with the timing info in the EITpf data:

No for Monday and Wednesday, the main program started roughly 35-45 seconds after 21:00:00.
Yes, a little on Tuesday - closer to 2 minutes after 21:00:00.
Monday and Tuesday overran. I suspect Mondays and Tuesdays News at Ten started after 22:00:00.
I think Wednesday may have just got into the hour mark. There wasn't an ad break after end credits/before the News at Ten.
Maybe the accumulation of 3 ad breaks, various sponsor ads, main program exceeded 60 minutes, coupled with the incorrect placement of the AR signal.

This says to me that, for a PVR using AR, on Monday The Tower would have recorded from 20:00:07 to 21:01:15, and on Tuesday from 20:01:33 to 21:00:43.
 
From activity.log.
All schedule timers except the last one used AR. The last one was manually set to 65 minutes.
Mon 2/9 of The Tower was short by at least 50 seconds (missing last scene).
Tue 3/9 of The Tower was short by at least 30 seconds (last scene cut short).
Others were fine.
(I don't think it's a Humax or CF issue.)

(I do wish the schedule messages provided a formatted time stamp and channel name or number rather than @meaninglessnumber)
I don't understand why there are Unscheduled messages

On Monday the Tower was a zero length recording on ITV1 hence the reschedule onto ITV1+1
Yesterday my attempts to convert to padding were too close to recording start to take effect and it didn't record on ITV1
