I can see it both ways - one the one hand, I don't want to watch a show 
and miss how it ended, but on the other hand, if I really like one show 
better than the one before it that overlaps, I may care more about 
getting all of that show than the end of the previous show.

I'm thinking the priority is the better option if you have to choose, 
because you can set which programs are higher priority/more important, 
whereas if it's always the end of the earlier program, you can end up 
missing the start of your favorite program when this happens and can't 
do anything about it.
