This thread shouldn't be marked as answered/solved as its not fixed (sorry for replying to an old thread).
Some time ago I wrote a fairly long post regarding my experiences upgrading from a TIVO to a V360 box. This post unfortunately seems to have been archived.
The issue discussed in this thread is my number one annoyance with the V360 box by some distance and it has nothing to do with buffer minutes at the end of recordings.
What's happening is that when playing an episode of a box-recorded series the V360 box displays a next episode autoplay countdown pop-up when the episode end recording time is reached regardless of whether the program has actually finished. To put it more simply - if a series is recorded and the program runs over the scheduled end time and into the buffer period this previously mentioned pop-up will appear when the box thinks the the program has ended rather than the actual end.
Suppose a series of 6 episodes of 30 minute duration each is recorded with 5 minutes of buffer time at the end. Episode 3 starts 2 minutes after the scheduled broadcast time and hence overruns the scheduled end time by 2 minutes. When watching Episode 3 this countdown pop-up will appear after 30 minutes, which is 2 minutes prior to the actual end of the program.
This is similar to streaming services which show a next episode pop-up during the end credits of a box set - but the V360 box is showing the message at the wrong time. The pop-up should be shown at the end of the whole recording not at the assumed end. To stick with the example above it should appear after 30+5 minutes not at exactly 30 minutes.
For me the best fix would be an option to completely switch off next episode autoplay, although I could live with a pop-up displaying 15 seconds before the actual end of a recording (ie after 30+5 minutes).
The situation at the moment is unbelievably annoying as the pop-up is completely unexpected. Its not during the end credits so you end up scrabbling around for the remote to cancel the autoplay. If you don't manage this within the 15 seconds you have to exit back to the previous episode (as the box is now autoplaying the next) and fast forward to catch the last 2 minutes. Its super-frustrating and needs a fix.
