The lowest chanid number are assigned to the available
tuners in order. So if you have two tuners and a conflict
for 1003, 1005, and 1008, cardinput 1 gets 1003 and cardinput
2 get 1005. The exception is if you resolved a conflict and
marked it to "remember". An earlier start time also wins so
that if 1008 started earlier, 1 = 1008 and 2 = 1003 even though
the conflict list shows 1008 and 1005 in red before 1008's
start time. If 1005 is the show you decide to not record
you couldn't resolve it and would need to remove it through
the EPG.

It would be better if you could declare what your favorite
show is and the rest in descending order so the it would
choose by preference rather than by accident but this isn't
implemented yet in the scheduler.

Other nice improvements would be if all overlapping shows
could be selected for conflict resolution (red, white or gray).
Hitting "i" on anything in the conflict list should go to
the info page seen in the EPG or program finder.
