I'd have thought the schedule set for 9:00-10:00 would start immediately 
once the schedule at 8:00-9:01 was complete. Unless the later schedule 
had a higher priority in which case the 8:00-9:01 should be stopped at 
9:00 to begin the second recording. Even my really cheap VCR can handle 
this one.
