You can set manual recordings, to the minute, if you want (although the programme name won't be displayed in the list of recordings). You can also automatically add padding to all recordings, to reduce the liklihood of missing the end.

For what it's worth, I have my V+ settings to add 1 minute at the start and 3 minutes at the end of recordings, and find this catches the vast majority (probably around 98%) of programmes in full.
