Multiple CBS Affiliates

I have 3 CBS affiliates that I can receive with my antenna, but two of them can fade occasionally, but the other is rock solid. So, when I set up a recording on CBS, I go to the guide and set up a pass on the channel I want the DVR to use to record it. However I noticed all 3 channels indicated a recording and it used one of the other CBS affiliates to record. Is there a way to force a pass to use a certain channel?

I made a few modifications to make it even a little more flexible: Series ID == , Tags == New, Channel != one that doesn't come in so great, Time CONTAINS 7:30pm Series ID == , Tags == New, Channel != one that doesn't come in so great, Time CONTAINS 7:00pm Series ID == , Tags == New, Channel != one that doesn't come in so great This results in: Priority 1 matches 5 Priority 2 matches 5 Priority 3 matches 11 (the ABC is replay…
