Yes you can but thats more complicated than doing 'Red' to set the recording, then a 'Green' (for schedule) then Right (to scroll the option) and then 'Red' to increment time added at the end of the recording. (its done in 10 min increments from +10, +20 to +30.). I bet you can do that on your Pioneer too, as its a Guide Plus+ feature. Check it out.
You have to scroll through a few options to do it with the manual timer method you describe.
But as Orinj said, it would be nice to change to to "+10" default for all recorder programs. Although as I said too, I have only missed the end of one program due to BBC News interuptions. The rest have been ok without padding.

Yeh, I find the on unit display to be utterly useless because its so dim so it probably would not help if I could get what you want to display. Thats another gripe..
I did notice something else annoying last night, my Guide Plus+ seemed to have somehow 'reset' and rebuilt all the guide and added channels I had switched off and stuff. Any idea why that would be?
