One big problem with the Motorola 64xx/34xx is that you cannot really control what gets cancelled when you try to record something and there is a conflict. It will always give you the opportunity to replace one of the two currently-scheduled recordings -- it won't give you the ability to cancel the "other" recording. If all three recordings are manual recordings, is there a way to determine what gets cancelled to make room for the new recording?
I think this isn't really an issue with a TiVo, but let me check. Here's what I experience (regularly) on my 3412: When the networks change the start time for a program (10:00 to 10:01, for example), the 3412 seems to treat the old and new start times as separate listings, and the earlier listing (of course) no longer appears in the guide, so if you had it set up for recording, you can no longer grab hold of it to change the recording options or to delete it. That's led to situations where I tried to record a third program, and my only option was to cancel the second program. I couldn't even get a handle on the first program (not even from the Scheduled Recordings list), to delete it before I tried to add the third program. Can I assume that this could never happen on a TiVo DT?
