A DVR user instructs the DVR to record a program. The DVR determines whether the program is of a particular type. If the program is of the particular type, then the DVR presents, to the DVR user, a user interface that enables the DVR user to alter the parameters of the time interval during which the DVR will record the program. After the user has modified the recording time parameters (e.g., start and end recording times) for the program using DVR presented user interfaces, the DVR stores the modified recording time parameters on the DVR's hard disk drive. The DVR then automatically records the program, beginning and ending at the stored times as modified by the DVR user (rather than the EPG data-specified times).
