Priority rules for overlapping presets

When preset TV programmes are overlapped, the following two rules

are used to determine higher priority. If both rules are met, the rules

are applied in the order 1 then 2.

Rule 1: If two presets overlap, the preset with the earlier start time

is given a higher priority. If two presets are sequential, the last

portion of the first programme or the first portion of the second

may not be recorded.

Rule 2: If presets with the same start time overlap, the preset with

the higher list number is given priority.
