X1 DVR 1 minute off

I've read all the complaints about dvr's

being off by one minute. I have the same problem. All of my recordings start a minute early but then cut off about a minute at the end. And all the Times when you have the option for the quick forward over commercials. It's off by a minute as well very annoying. 

I've heard everyone complaining, but the only very partial solution I've seen from Comcast is to set your DVR to record 5 extra minutes. But that is only a tiny bit of problem, and boy that's a big deal when you record about fifty different things. 

COMCAST DO YOU HAVE A REAL FIX?

Hello, @user_diane. I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with the recording being off by a minute. I know this could by annoying especially if you're used to recording multiple programs during the week.

 

So that we don't go over something you've already done, can you please share with me what troubleshooting steps have you completed on your own? Have you by any chance reset the DVR by using the incredible Xfinity app?

@XfinityRaul​ I've done what everyone else has already done.  Reset my DVR, reset my XFINITY box, unplug multiple times.  With many others complaining about this, it's clearly an issue you at XFINITY are aware of.   It's not just me.  I've already gone through the PAINFUL opening of every show I record and added 3 minutes to the end so that I'd stop missing the last minute of every show. So annoying. I pray I don't run into the issue of too many items wanting to record at the same time just because of the overlap of programs.

But, still very annoying is the fact that the quick fast forward on commercial breaks still leaves another minute of commercials yet to play.  It was slightly better after the DVR reset xfinity help sent me, but still there. 

This has to be a known issue you are working on for some time.   I saw notes back several YEARS on this.

@XfinityRaul​  It's  been about two months since we privately chatted on this issue.... You had me keep several episodes on my DVR for your investigation.  My DVR is still doing this.  What's the progress????

@user_diane, my name won't appear as an option. You must send the private message to Xfinity Support and it will direct the message to me.
