DVR start time, end time, and Smart Resume are all off

This has clearly been a known issue for a long time, but I have yet to see a solution. Every recording starts and ends about a minute early. This is very annoying when you lose the end of a show. Being a minute off on Smart Resume is even worse. It always resumes with about two commercials (or half a drug ad) left to play. This started well over a year ago, and there are dozens of complaints about it on here over the last couple of years. Resetting the DVR, turning Smart Resume, and any other solution suggested in forums did nothing. Telling people to send a direct message and then not following up in the forum makes the forum pointless. There is no way this is not a well known issue, so please fix it or tell us how to fix it.

I have the same issue. Searched all settings and no way to auto-stop recordings more than a minute late. I manually adjust to 3-minutes. I wish Xfinity would acknowledge and fix this issue. A simple addition in settings to automatically extend all recordings by a set number of minutes would work.
