Conflicting Timers
If you schedule Timer Recordings that overlap, an icon will appear in the list of scheduled Timer Recordings. If a conflict exists, the recording with the
earlier starting time takes place.When it ends, the next recording would start, provided there is time left.
If you have set up two Timer Recordings for the same time, the one with the lower frequency would be recorded. For example, if one Timer Recording
was scheduled to record Weekly and the other was scheduled to record Once, the Timer Recording with Once would be recorded.
