"When SchedMoveHigher is enabled, the scheduler moves recordings around one
at a time and the first fit wins.  it does not continue on looking for
"better" fits.  Consequently, recordings might get moved to lower priority
inputs or channels."

I assumed you meant when SchedMoveHigher is disabled, the scheduler moves
recordings around one at a time looking for a fit and continues looking for
"better" fits until the "best" fit is found.
