That is unusual... are you sure there is not another show being recorded at the same time ?
Let's say you have 5 mins padding set.
21.00-22.00 you should have two tuners in play, 22.00-22.05 you should have 3 tuners recording, 22.05-23.00 you should have 1 recording.
Sounds like you have something else going on. Have a look at your expected recordings for the time slot in question.
Might be worth restating the recording priorities for TiVo:
1. Manual "one off" recordings
2. Series links, as per their priority in the manage series links page.
3. TiVo Suggestions.
Higher priority will clip lower priority recordings.
Padding wise there is still no default padding for your recordings, so you have to set it yourself. Suggestions get 10mins auto padding.
The main issue to be aware of is that a higher priority series link with say 5mins padding will clip a lower priority series link, so you miss the start of the next show. This is at odds with V+ where all series links are equal priority and the padding is simply dropped if need be.
VM will tell you that this shouldn't happen very often as you have 3 tuners to play with. In reality, broadcasters tend to show all their top shows in the 20/21/22 hrs slots so it's not uncommon.
