Kudos to gigem. The higher pri show is placed first. If the
lower has other showings that don't conflict then its later
showing will be placed and we're done.

If after the first pass there are "C"onflicts and the Setup->
TV Settings->Recording Priorities->General checkbox for
"Reschedule Higher Priorities" is checked. it makes another
pass to fix these problems.

If SG-1 had two showings and both of them have conflicts, then
it gets a little complex. However, your higher pri shows will
record in one of it's timeslots and a lower show will lose if
there is no way to fit everything. However, it will "L"ater
Good Eats it that means it can record SG-1 or it may be able
to move the conflict for the other showing instead.

Of the many sphincter declarations on this list, this is not
one of them.
