I'm with you, Paul. The commercial stations play games with each 
other, trying to keep viewers and only managing to piss people off. 
Setting any recorder becomes difficult, especially if you are 
recording from different channels in sequence. I either miss the 
beginning or end of one of the programs by guessing. I try to set so 
I miss the beginnings rather than the ends. Later evening programs 
also make up time by having shorter commercial ad breaks.
