Managing Scheduling Conflicts

If you schedule more than two recordings for the same time, you will see a Scheduling Conflict screen that allows you to choose between a previously set recording and the new recording that is conflicting. Individual recordings always take priority over series recordings when there are scheduling conflicts.

In case of a scheduling conflict between two series programs, additional icons will appear at the bottom of the Scheduling Conflict screen to help you determine which program to record.

- Return to the previous screen.

- Record highlighted series as shown above.

- Show conflicts when the new series is a high priority.

- Show conflicts when the new series is a low priority. - Don’t record this series.

•To give your new recording the highest scheduling priority and to capture the most number of episodes for your new recording, select High. The screen will show you how many episodes of the new series will be recorded and which episodes of the old series will not be recorded because of the conflict.

•To move the new series back to the bottom of the scheduling priority list, select Low and the screen will refresh and give you revised results.

•Select the Record Icon to confirm your new settings.
