Hi - I get the same problem too (Nottingham). Although, it happened when ESPN showed the prelims as well as BT Sport. ESPN didn't show the prelims until quite late on in their contract so maybe thats why it wasn't noticeable.

I think this is something to do with the fact I record all "UFC: Live" as a series under the HD BT Sport Channels on the Samsung V+ box I have.

I do have a fix for this. The way around this is to record the prelims on the SD channel, and keep the main event recorded on the HD channel. Since I started doing this, I've not had the problem.

Whatever it is about the prelims being recorded in HD, I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure its that that will be causing it.

Edit: I should say this is a manual fix - if you record the UFC events as a series like I have, it will default to recording the prelims and main event in HD. I delete the the prelims from my planned programmes list, then set the prelims to record on the SD channel. Its no so bad since I always manually record the show immediately after the UFC event anyway since previous shows have overrun and I've missed the end of the main event. BT seem a lot better at setting an appropriate amount of time, however can't be too sorry!
