Some Recorded Programs Ending Early in WMP 8.1 Pro
Some of my recorded programs are ending a couple of minutes too early even though I have the default setting to ending 3 minutes after. Any ideas as to what is going on and how to fix it?

By chance are you recording the show right after the show in question (also on the same channel) ?
The problem you mention will occur when the following is set: Record Channel 4 From 8 pm to 8:30 pm. Record Channel 4 From 8:30 PM to 9 pm
Instead of using "Tuner 1" to record from 8 to 830 & "Tuner 2 " to record 830 to 9, WMC will end the recording early & use the same tuner to record both shows.
The only fix, is to set each show, that has this problem to "End 10 Minutes after" (not "end 10 minutes after when possible").
By setting it to stop 10 minutes after, it forces WMC to use another tuner to record another show.
