Resolving Recording Conflicts

Media Center can record only one TV show at a time. If you schedule two recordings for the
same time, a message appears telling you to resolve the conflict. If you don't resolve the conflict,
Media Center automatically makes the selection just before the program begins recording. Before
the program records, a conflict icon (a red circle with an exclamation point) is listed next to the
program in the Guide. You can view and resolve the conflict by opening My TV window,
selecting Settings, Recorder, and then Scheduled.
Media Center selects which show to record based on the following priority rules:
1
A scheduled program that is not a rerun
2
The program that was scheduled first
3
Manual recordings
Often, Media Center is able to find an alternative date and time for recording one of the
programs so that both shows can be recorded. If one recording partially overlaps another,
Media Center records to the end of the first and then begins recording the second.
After you resolve a recording conflict, the conflict icon continues to appear for the program that
is not scheduled to record so you can return to the conflict and reverse it, if needed.
If you are watching TV while recording a show, you can watch only the channel being recorded.
If you attempt to change the channel, a message appears telling you that changing the channel
stops the recording. If a recording is scheduled to begin and you are watching a different
channel, a message appears giving you the choice to change the channel to begin the recording.
If no choice is made, the channel changes automatically.
