That's what baffles me. I thought as you say it should record at the
earliest possibility, but it doesn't. Before I only had two recorders,
creating a conflict. But since februari I have a third and it can
record on saturday, but it doesn't. It moves the recording as soon as
it learns about the rerun.
It is no problem, but I don't like illogical things.
At the same time I have to say I still haven't found time to really
delve into this matter. It is planned for a few quiet days. I
regularly see priority/identical matching issues I do not (yet)
understand.
