You don't want to miss the last minute off The Apprentice. The whole 
show is a build up to a prat getting a stubby finger pointed at them.

Where do you get your listings from? tv_grab_uk_rt has the first ending 
at 10pm and the second starting at 10pm. Anyway given the shoddy 
timekeeping of the channels you want to pad them out. If you're using 
DVB-T you could try using multirec. It works on my Freecom USB tuners 
(up to 4 recordings per tuner).

Cheers,
