Lots to look at here --- enabling ntpd as a system daemon should keep you running, and should keep it synced with periodic checks to an internet time server. It should work "continuously" and not require you to reboot to resync. Which distro are you using? Location of the ntpd.conf file varies with distro. Some distributions work out of the box, others require you to find internet time servers that are nearby to your locale. The file you'll need to edit on Fedora Core 3, for example is /etc/ntp.conf. Also another tip--if you can, enable some extra minutes at the beginning and ending of your recording settings to deal with things being slightly off. This can cause a problem, of course, if you want to bump up against another program you want to record back-to-back, so be aware of that. I typically record for an addition 2 minutes before and after to avoid the problem you state above, but I use a system with dual tuners to avoid the overlap (as I also record Family Guy, followed by American Dad).
