This programme is currently recording.
The times overlap those in another programme. Recording
of the programme with the later start time starts when the
earlier programme finishes recording.
The disc was full so the programme failed to record.
The material was copy-protected so it was not recorded.
The programme did not complete recording because the
disc is dirty or some other reason.
