Yesterday I set my machine to record a film at 3:40pm. The film was split, though I don't know whether that's relevant. I immediately got a warning of a programme conflict. When I opened the details, the film clashed with two recordings set for 9pm ... tonight. 35 hours later. I had to delete one of tonight's recordings.

I then wondered whether, somehow, yesterday's film did not have an effective end time. I had a recording set for 9pm last night, so I set a recording for an overlapping programme.

With the same result - recording conflict.

Anyone know what's causing this?

Also, does anyone know what "Keep" means, as one of the two options when the box says there's a conflict? (The other option is "Change", but you don't seem to be able to cancel the new recording, only the ones set up earlier).

I think the recorder gives great results, but the software is abysmal. And the manual doesn't help a lot.
