Please add an option to schedule a manual recording and let you record earlier than 2 minutes, options here please

i have a scheduled recording and when it starts at the designated time, the program is in the middle.  Even saying to start 2 minutes earlier means i miss most of it..  could you consider letting recording start 5, 10, even 30 minutes earlier. Longer than the 2 minutes max you can start early now on your x1 DVR recording.
