Scratching my head here. Created the following power search:

program.title = 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' AND
DAYNAME(CONVERT_TZ(program.starttime,'Etc/UTC','SYSTEM'))='Thursday' AND
channel.callsign='WIVB-HD'

Gave it a higher priority. Told it to record 90 minutes longer. When I test
the recording rule, it finds the two Thursday night broadcasts. When I set
it to record and look at upcoming recordings, the two Thursdays airings say
they're being recorded under the standard Colbert rule. Shouldn't the
higher priority kick in the power search one?
