    Looking at the Friday Corrie recordings, both episodes started at the scheduled time so can't judge if AR was working correctly or not.

    EDIT

    Just checked the FreeviewPlay recordings First Corrie started recording at 19:31 and second at 20:32 so still looks as if Freesat switched on scheduled time and just luck that the recordings were intact.

    I have set a couple of test recordings on ITV-HD on both boxes for this evening.

    Take Me Out and The Voice.

    I got the same. No content lost but had I been recording You've Been Framed (before Take Me Out) it would have lost the end as the end of the programme was on the Freesat recording of Take Me Out.

    On Freesat Take Me Out actual content started 4M 42 sec after recording started, FVP started on time. Both recorded 1H 20M it's only luck that the Freesat version didn't lose the end.

    Seems clear that AR is not working on ITV-HD on Freesat.

    I set my Humax FOXSAT-HDR (Freesat) as usual to record (settings on AUTO record, as opposed to minutes before/after) all episodes of Coronation Street this week. All episodes started & finished recording exactly on the scheduled times according to the EPG.
    All complete episodes were captured within the EPG scheduled recorded times except on Wednesday 31st Jan where the second episode 20:30-21-00 had the first few minutes chopped off, so clearly the episode started earlier than the scheduled EPG times! Thankfully I was able to record Saturdays complete omnibus version without any part of it being chopped off.
    I've just set up to record The Voice UK and as I have previously done with other programmes on ITV, no matter what version of ITV, they all start/finish at exactly the same times as stated on the EPG regardless of when exactly the program starts/finishes. This clearly proves that the version/system that ITV has updated to does not work as it should... for me anyway.
    I'm now going to set up my device to auto record Coronation Street's omnibus version every weekend now as I can't trust ITV with whatever they're doing! So annoying!

    Looking like ITV-HD have screwed up again. Tonight's Dancing on Ice recorded both in SD and HD on Freesat. A quick look confirmed only one recording reservation for next Sunday. Will look in more detail tomorrow.
