Something is causing the scheduler to not consider showings on 63 CKWS
or to consider showings on 10 CKWS first.  That's most likely caused
by one of two things.  Either your recording rule isn't matching what
you think it is matching or desired showings have a lower priority.
Since later showings on 63 CKWS that do get scheduled have the same -2
priority as the earlier showings on 10 CKWS, I suspect the former case
where the rule isn't matching.  

Here's a few things to try to help further diagnose the problem.

First, double check your priorities just to be sure the showings on 63
CKWS have the same priority as those on 10 CKWS.

Second, go into mythtv-setup and mark 10 CKWS as invisible.  Do the
showings on 63 CKWS get scheduled then or does nothing get scheduled
at 13:00?  If nothing gets scheduled at 13:00, it's almost certainly
the matching problem.  Are you using EIT on your digital inputs?  That
could introduce subtle differences in spacing, case or spelling.
