<P><FONT SIZE=2>Perhaps the following conflict resolution option would be nice as well:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Priority - If you have overlapping shows, indicate which show</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> takes priority in terms of complete recording, ie:</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>Show #1 12:00am to 1:00am</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>Show #2 12:45am to 1:45am</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>If you want to record all of Show #2 and whatever</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>you can get of Show #1, set Show #2 with priority</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>over Show #1. That way, when 12:45am comes around, </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>Myth will automatically stop recording Show #1 and </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>begin recording Show #2.</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2>If you want to record all of Show #1 and whatever</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>you can get of Show #2, set Show #1 with priority</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>over Show #2. That way, when 1:00am comes around, </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>Myth will stop recording Show #1 normally, and </FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2>begin recording Show #2.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Perhaps when you initially set a program to record, you can set a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>flag that indicates that it takes Priorty over any show that it </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>might overlap with.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Unfortunately, I can't code in. It would take me a long time</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to get up to speed on how to make changes to the Myth code, although</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I am willing to learn.</FONT>
