OK, that explains it. I've got a PVR-500, with two tuners, and this type
of conflict occurs when I am also recording another game on a different
channel. Now for the overlap period I am trying to record three things
with two tuners: the first game's extension, the second game on the same
channel, and a third game on a different channel. It would be nice if it
figured out that the first extension isn't needed because the second
recording will be recording that channel anyway, but it isn't quite that
smart yet, so I end up having to manually remove the extension for the
first game to resolve the conflict.
