Need Better TIMER Management

**Dedicated screen to manage ALL timers from. **Option to set extended time durations (aka, for shows AFTER sports). **Specific channel # for a timer. **And let recording be kept for longer than 9 months (at least 12 months).
(1) Allow setup of extended recording duration right in the Timer itself, like for weekend primetime shows that follow earlier sporting events that typically run long. Instead of having to also setup the shows or local news to record AFTER the actual show you want. Which then they are all separate recordings to have to keep track of and watch piecemeal to view your show that was sports-delayed. Other competitor services allow setting up both extended “post-time” (like 5, 15, 30, 60, or 90 min) in timer config, and even some early “pre-time” minutes too.
Or at least be intelligent enough that if shows are time-delayed late because of earlier sports, that your DVR recording for shows following sports events automatically includes that extra shifted/extended duration in their own shows recording. (Don’t you already do that for recording the game itself ? Why not also do that for any other shows that follow sports the rest of the evening too).
(2) Allow setup of Timers ONLY for a SPECIFIC CHANNEL, so that it doesn’t erroneously record syndicated/reruns on alternate cable stations (sometimes those re-run channels do NOT follow your “only-new” setting).
(3) Direct access to Timers instead of only via the Guide for an upcoming episode or via already saved recording. Would let you edit timer to change between doing ALL vs only NEW, or other settings like prior requested “extended recording time”. Would also allow for Deleting Timers for series that have ended and have no more upcoming episodes (which currently there is now way to go back and remove obsolete timers). And in general would just be better to see WHICH shows you have Timers setup for, all from one place, instead of just ones that are upcoming in the next week.
(4) Allow longer saved recordings (like at least 1 year). Currently unable to wait and binge watch a whole season afterwards during the summer.
