Post-record

-This is a safety margin added to the end of a scheduled recording which was set via the My Yahoo!® TV scheduler of your personal calendar. It affects ONLY these recordings. This is just in case the clocks between your ARCHOSdevice and the broadcast station are different or if the broadcast station runs overtime.
