I have noticed this behavior lately as well.  The real question is, why does
it postpone a recording for no reason?  I have seen it happen when *NO*
other recording are schedule at that time, yet it decides to postpone the
one recording which is scheduled.  So, why does the later time slot have a
higher priority than the earlier one?
