Because that inevitably involves juggling lots of priorities around for 
all the shows - I far prefer to wait for a conflict to come up and then 
tell it I always want show A to override show B - it makes life simpler 
than having hundreds of different priorities and having to keep juggling 
them into the right order.  I do use priorities for 1 important purpose - 
I set a priority of 0 for shows I really care about and a priority of -1 
for shows I don't really give a damn about but I still want to record them 
if there's nothing else on.  This is the way it always used to work and 
for me is far simpler.
