conflict management

[johnsonx42]

Are we going to get any conflict detection and management any time soon? The townsfolk here are fueling their torches and sharpening their pitchforks because "V" failed to record last night. Some shows on other networks that normally record on other nights suddenly showed up in the same time slot as V, and those recorded instead.

In this case Hulu will probably keep the disgruntled folk at bay, but conflict detection/alerting would be nice to have at last.

For those of us on Eastern (U.S.) time, there was no V because of the President's speech. Are you sure it was supposed to show for you?

[johnsonx42]

oh, of course. I was so busy I forgot about that - that explains V not being there and the other shows showing up in unusual time slots. good thing too, I discovered neither hulu nor abc.com stream V at all.

still, conflict detection/alerting/management does seem to be a big missing feature. I currently have to manually verify that important shows will record.

mmm... yes conflict management would be good. My pregnant wife was very unhappy with me for one of her shows not recording. Sad thing is it was a kids show that did record... Not even a show for me.
