Okay, sorry!

Have a nice weekend and best regards

It is now 2019 and the situation has not changed.

@ManonT Good evening

In 2019 at home, words like Hello & Good evening and thank you have disappeared so dammit!

Hello Doremi,

You’re right, I’m sorry….I was annoyed by my problems with the TV shows, I was looking for solutions that the online chat hadn’t been able to provide and just had the spontaneous reaction to write down “and that doesn’t change” without addressing anyone in particular….

With my sincere apologies 😄

End of 2020 and it’s even worse… the 40′ at the start of a film are half of the previous film, blah blah and then more advertising… in short, we can forget about recording, especially for certain channels. .. or you have to buy the DVD, Swisscom and Amazon perhaps have links??

Absolutely agree, everything is off! To be sure to have an entire film, you must record the show before and the show after 😠

I actually seem to remember that in the old days… a long time ago… the recording would automatically start when the show started and only stop when it was over. Can’t current technology give us back this comfort?

Hello @ManonT

Indeed the VPS was something practical. But it was also only available for a few channels which are not the ones causing the problem today.

Some channels are real disasters when it comes to scheduling. But I find it a little unfair to put all the blame on the one who displays the schedule given by the channel and carries the signal when it is made available.

Automatically detecting the real start of the film and removing advertisements in a video stream are also technical challenges for Swisscom. It is by knowing the reliability of the channels that we know how much we must add to the recording to be certain of seeing the end. For me, 30 minutes later is a minimum.

Quite; that’s what I was doing as far as I’m concerned; for certain channels two months ago, it was still possible to set for example “15 minutes before” and “30 minutes after”.
The problem is that this possibility simply no longer exists.

Hello DanielD,

Thank you for your explanations… which Swisscom was never able to give me!

Fortunately you intervened: even if I continue to find the situation unpleasant, I at least understand the problem a little better now thanks to you and I am grateful to you.

I wish you (and everyone who connects to this page) a happy new year 2021 🍀

ManonT

Thank you so much. But if I do this to be sure to have the whole film for certain channels but this applies to all films, my recording space will quickly be full to the brim…. thank you but too bad.
