In the "view scheduled" screen it marks any recordings that are going to 
be recorded (i.e. they haven't been overridden by a higher priority 
recording, etc), but will be overridden if you happen to be watching live 
TV at the time they're on.

On a system with multiple tuner cards, what decides which tuner card to 
use if one of the tuners is being used for live TV?  Would it not be best 
to both choose the tuner card and do the live TV overrides in the same 
place (is this handled in the scheduler?)
