You can set a manual recording before you go out, set it for 6 hours and then you don't run the risk of it cutting off halfway through.
We are beginning to get some top fights. I much prefer when they concentrate on big international cards each week. If they've got the agreements with Sauerland, GBP etc then we should have more than enough to keep us happy.
If it was on at 3pm on Sunday I'd guess the order was switched to avoid a clash with United v Villa on Sky Sports at 4? The boxnation / super sunday cross over audience is probably quite high so they'd be making the most of the available ratings while they can.
