[mythtv-users] Sched Direct shows Lost from 9:00-10:11?

[Jason Weida]

Hmmm.  Two weeks ago, Lost did not record due to a "Later Showing".  We
didn't realize it until after the fact, so I raised the priority of Lost to
+5, everything else on my system is at 0.  (I'm HDHR OTA only and don't
record a lot, true conflicts are rare).

No major losses other than having to watch with the annoying "pop ups" a
week late, but I'd like to find out a way to always record the first
showing.  The main concern, however is the reason for the "conflict" because
it happened again this week.  I checked it before it was set to record and I
think I see why it did not record two weeks ago...  It appears that the
scheduling data shows Lost showing from 9:00-10:11pm.  10:11 PM?  The
"conflict" is "Life on Mars" (the show which follows Lost on ABC), SD has it
scheduled to start at 10:09 PM, 2 minutes before Lost ends!

1. What the hell is up with those times?  Is this a problem with Schedules
Direct?  Did anyone else have this?  I have not looked at the raw data from
SD, but I thought I'd get some quick feedback on here.
2. Shouldn't Myth realize that since they are on the same channel everything
is cool and no need to record the later showing?  I guess the overlapping
times would be a condition not tested...
3. Is there an option somewhere in the recording rule to specify you want to
always record the first showing of a show?

Thanks for any help.
