Priority rules for overlapped presettings

When preset TV programmes are overlapped, the following two
rules are used to determine higher priority. If more than one of
the two rules are met, the rules are applied in the order 1 then
2.
Rule 1:If two presettings are overlapped, the presetting with

the earlier start time is given a higher priority. If two
presettings are sequential, the last portion of the first
programme or the first portion of the second may not be
recorded.

Rule 2:If presettings with the same start time are overlapped,

the presetting with the bigger list number is given a
higher priority.
