| What happens if I try to record multiple shows at once and I havent enough tuners to support it: |
Media Center uses advanced conflict resolution features to help you prioritize recordings or find alternate airings of programs when preset recordings conflict. Here’s how the system works.
A recording conflict notification appears:
- If you have one TV tuner enabled, and you schedule a recording for the same time as another recording.
- If you have more than one TV tuner enabled, and you schedule more recordings than you have tuners available at one time.
Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the conflict when prompted. If you do not resolve the conflict, Media Center resolves the conflict automatically and selects a show to record. Sometimes Media Center can locate an alternate date and time for one of the shows and adjusts the recording schedule to record both shows.
Otherwise, Media Center selects which show to record based on the following criteria:
- A one-time recording (not part of a series)
- Series priority ranking (Series, Keyword, and Manual recordings can all be ranked in Series Priorities)
- The show that was scheduled first
If Media Center encounters a recording conflict between two episodes from different series recording requests, Media Center uses the Series Priorities list to decide which show to record. You can rank the series you most want recorded at the top of the Series Priorities list to help ensure that it is successfully recorded in the case of conflicts. When you schedule a new series, it is added to the bottom of the list and has the lowest priority.
