How do I setup timer padding on the IceBox? or Why do I miss the end of my shows?

You can setup custom timer padding on the IceBox which will automatically extend all timers based on the time you set, this is to stop missing the end of shows due to TV stations not sticking to their advertised start and stop times.

The IceBox has a default of 3 minutes for Pre-Padding and 30 minutes for Post-Padding.

To change this:

  1. On the IceBox home screen go down to "Add-ons" on the left hand side.

  3. Change the Pre-Padding and Post-Padding options in the IceTV settings, don't forget to remove the number currently there before entering a new one, then select Done when updated:
