IMHO there should always be a "record it anyway" option that just does the 
right thing to make it happen.  The other day I had a overridden show that 
I wanted to activate - no option to specifically reenable that show, so I 
needed to disable recording of all the other shows...  except there were 
about 15 shows conflicting with it and every time I deactivated one, 
another would take over. :(

Someone mentioned that "A" records will eventually be highlighted yellow, 
which is similar to the old style (infact there is a patch somewhere to do 
just this).
