Spring forward, Fall backward

In the Spring, daylight-saving time begins on the first Sunday in April. Because the clock automatically changes from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. (forward one hour), including the extra hour for timer recording within this time frame is necessary.

In the Fall, Daylight-Saving time ends on the last Sunday in October. The VCR clock automatically changes from 2 a.m. to 1 a.m. (back one hour). Therefore, it can affect your recording length.
