Unexpected program placement
 

DirecTiVo, sotware v6.2

I have a season pass for "Airline." (okay, I admit it) I also
have a ARWL using the keyword "Poker." A recent episode of Airline
featured a professional poker player. Rather than this episode being
recorded and placed in the "Airline" folder, it was placed in the
"Poker" folder. I would expect an explicit SP recording to be filed
with the other recordings for that SP. Do ARWL have a higher priority
when TiVo decides where to file the program? Strange.

Airline is #15, the Poker ARWL is #40.

Airline is #15, the Poker ARWL is #40.

Here are some things that could have caused the ARWL to record it:

- SP is "First Run Only", ARWL is "First Run and Repeats" and the show is
a repeat

- During the scan of the SP list to add things, between the time the SP
was checked and the ARWL was checked, guide data got updated (conflict
gone, show just added, etc.)

- SP was set to record it, got explicitly cancelled by the user, and then
ARWL picked it up on a different showing

Both are set to FRO

- During the scan of the SP list to add things, between the time the SP

(conflict gone, show just added, etc.)

This is possible, but it seems very unlikely.

- SP was set to record it, got explicitly cancelled by the user, and
then
ARWL picked it up on a different showing

This didn't happen.

Thus far, only the second scenario makes sense and it seems so
unlikely to happen. Oh well.
