This morning on the Upcoming Recordings page I see 2 programs scheduled for the same time with the same tuner, an obvious conflict. Details for each program show the proper list of what the conflicts would be, but Upcoming Recordings doesn't acknowledge the conflict like it does all the others. A conflict between the same 2 shows is flagged a week later though. Both recording rules are "Record at any time" so there are no override settings.

Thanks. I waited for another round of mythfilldatabase to see if that corrected it but it didn't.

The ZIP is 15k which is probably too big to go through the list but I could send it privately.
