True, the game ran long because of the power outage. That's the one case where a DVR fails. I'm surprised nobody's made one that can be pushed schedule adjustments in real time. They're all broadband connected these days, it seems like it would be trivial to do.
If I cared, I'd probably pad a recording after a sports event by 30-45 minutes. Pretty much the only thing I've ever had cut off that way is The Simpsons, which I mostly just watch out of habit anyway.
