I generally want my box to reschedule higher priority shows in order  
to get some other show recorded that it normally wouldn't, except in  
the case of The Daily Show and Colbert Report. I ALWAYS want to watch  
those just after they broadcast at 8pm PST, so I've left the  
reschedule higher priority shows option set but set those two  
programs to record every day in that time slot and pushed the  
priority way up beyond any other show. I also do this with the couple  
of HD shows I watch regularly so it doesn't get rescheduled to a non- 
HD channel later in the week. I find this combination suits my needs  
best and from the sounds of it, it might be a good solution for you,  
too.
