Actually in this case it seems I might have. If the 10:00-10:30 program 
has priority, the program better record it and then move on to the 
second priority. In this case that would mean recording 10:30-11:00. I 
never really paid much attention to this, I just assumed(yeah I know all 
the troubles with assume) the overlap logic was more sound.
