re c o rding is set to run from 5:00 to 6:00,
and a second is set from 5:30 to 7:00, the
second re c o rding will not start until 6:00
when the first finishes. If one pro g r a m
e n t i rely overlaps another - program 1 is
f rom 5:00 to 6:00, program 2 is from 5:30
to 6:00 - the second program will not
