Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosed invention include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for enabling a user to configure a media receiving device to auto-extend a recording of a program beyond its scheduled end recording time. For instance, in one embodiment, a computer implemented method for extending recording of a broadcast is disclosed. The method comprises recording a program associated with a broadcast signal until a scheduled ending time; determining whether an end of program indicator within the broadcast signal has been detected in response to reaching the scheduled ending time; and extending the recording of the program associated with the broadcast signal based upon a user selected setting associated with a set of user configurable options for extended recordings.
