I guess the padding in this case should be... start 4 or 5 minutes late to get the highest quality possible 
Unfortunately you can’t pad to start late.

Don't tell anyone, but you can if you set the default start padding to a negative number.
To set the default to start 5 minutes late
curl -XPATCH http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr --data-binary '{"PaddingStart":"-300"}'
If running curl from Windows use
curl -XPATCH http://127.0.0.1:8089/dvr --data-binary "{\"PaddingStart\":\"-300\"}"
You’re making this way harder than it has to be. You don’t need curl to set negative padding, it can be done in DVR settings on the web interface.
We're talking about start (pre-) padding. not end (post-) padding.
The only other way currently is to set negative padding in the pass.
Will find out this Thursday if recording picks up the switch to 4k.
Scheduled two 5 minute manual recordings.
First starts 1 minute before the game.
Second starts 5 minutes into the game.

Hope it works.
I just noticed in the Fox Sports app, the HDR feed of the game actually starts at 6:31PM instead of 6:30pm

Huh?
The Iowa @ Michigan State game is showing as 7-9 PM Eastern time
Are you talking about Cowboys @ 49ers on Fox tonight?
Channels DVR doesn't do Fox in 4K yet.
I'm talking about the NFL playoff game on tonight. Just for information for your Iowa game later this week. In the app, if you were watching the NFL pre-game, its stays in SDR and doesn't switch. The HDR feed is a separate program that starts a minute later than the SDR feed. You have to switch from the original pre-game feed to the HDR feed that starts a minute later. If you just stay in the pre-game SDR feed, it stays SDR even when the game starts.

Thanks for the info. I'm not using the app, but I assume the feed Channels DVR gets would be the same one.
It doesnt switch on the FoxNow app either. You have leave the pregame show and restart the game to get 4K.
Yes. That was my point. And you have to select the UHD/HDR stream that starts 1 minute later.
Don't have the Fox Sparts app, but this site schedule shows this Sunday's Pregame show on Fox will be in 4K. Does the Fox Sparts app show it that way?
Fox NFL Sunday is listed as 4K as well as the game.
Fox NFL Kickoff is not listed as 4K.
Thanks
So the schedule reads
FOX NFL Kickoff for an Hour
FOX NFL Sunday for an Hour
NFL Football 49ers at Eagles
Sounds like staying tuned in to NFL Sunday (@4K) will keep the 4K connection when the game starts?
