American Idol time slot in WA state?

American Idol shows on guide and therefore DVR records that show at 8pm-Pacific Time here in Washington state where I am. However, the Actual Air time is 5pm Pacific Time. Why the 3 hour delay?

It looks like it was a special 3 hour episode on Monday and the guide may not have been updated. I definitely understand how frustrating this would be to not have the full recording. You also have the option to manually adjust the length of the recording with these two options:

Setting a Manual Channel Recording (Time & Date)

Press Guide and navigate to the channel.
Press the Left arrow to highlight the channel name/logo.
Press the Record (red dot) button.
In the options, select Start to set the hour/minute/AM-PM.
Select Duration to set how long it records (up to 7 hours).
Set the Date and confirm.

or

Modify an Existing Scheduled Recording

Press the xfinity button on your remote.
Highlight Saved and press OK.
Select Scheduled and find the program.
Select Record Options -> Modify -> Just this episode.
Adjust Start time (early) or Stop time (late) using arrow buttons.
Select Confirm.
