I am curious if this behavior has to do with what you are describing. The only way I can get the summaries to display the correct information is if I record a minute longer after the show ends. For example, lets say a show starts at 1:00 and ends at 2:00. If you set a timer for 1:00 to 2:00, then in the schedule will show a little "t" next to the show you have set to record. But, if you set a timer for 1:00 to 2:01, then the schedule shows a capital "T" next to the show being recorded and two little "t"'s before and after the scheduled show. The first method will use the Summary of the previously scheduled show and the second method seems to use the correct information. Best Regards,
