Resolving Recording Conflicts

Media Center can record only one TV program at a
time. If your PC model includes one TV tuner and
you schedule two recordings for the same time, a
message appears telling you to resolve the conflict.
If you do not 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
Recording priority rules
Media Center selects which program 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 programs can be recorded. If one
recording partially overlaps another, Media Center
records to the end of the first and then begins
recording the second.

To enable Media Center to resolve recording
conflicts, you can set up how program recordings
are handled. When you try to record a program
and another is scheduled at the same time,
Media Center prompts you to choose a program
to record.
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 program,
you can watch only the channel being recorded. 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.
