How do I add 60 or 90 minutes to the end of a scheduled recording?

Xfinity only lets you add 30 minutes to the end of a recording. If I'm recording a program that follows a football game or other live event most likely I'll need more than 30 minutes. My old Dish DVR would extend up 90 minutes. Is there some hidden function that lets me add 60 or 90 minutes?

Hello, @user_793642! Thank you so much for reaching out to us over our Community Forums. Here is a great article that outlines how to change the start and stop time to X1 DVR recordings, and the limitations.

On my system, I have the ability to scroll to the right and add up to 90 minutes. My issue is not having the ability to add 5 minutes.

@jaschloss  The 5 minutes end late is just on regular programs not on Live. Live events do let you go to 90 minutes but not 5 minutes though if that is what you were trying to add 5 minutes. Not sure why they don't make both the same.

@user_793642  to add the specified runtime that you want, use the manual recording options shown here:

Thanks for the information, that's one way to do it.

But I still don't understand why 60 or 90 minutes isn't offered for all programs. Does Comcast think if Sunday night football runs over by an hour that it's not going to affect other programming?
