Adjusting recording time.

If I have preset a program to record, either using the EPG or the IceTv guide and the program starts late, how can I extend the recording time.

Example: I had preset using the EPG on my DP-S1 to record a movie after the football last Friday night. I have already set the soft padding to record an extra 15 mins. The football didn't finish until 20 minutes after it's advertised time. The recording had already started and I wanted to the recording time an extra few minute to ensure i didn't miss the end of the movie.

I tried to go into timer but I cannot change a timer recording once it has started.

A similar problem with quick recording.

If I press to record while watching a program it asks how long to record for. If I find later that I want to extend that time how do i do it?

popup-recording information.
another couple of tricks:
rec-rec will start recording the current channel
rec-stop will stop recording the current show
shame rec-rec on an already recording channel doesn't bring up an edit option....

Press MENU and select Recording Information, select the recording you want to change (if there's more than one) with UP/DOWN, and change the duration of the recording with LEFT/RIGHT.

It's in the manual, section 3-3(4), "Change Recording Options while Recording".
