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.
