Questions about Recording overlapping TV EVERYWHERE events
New user here. When browsing the Guide and finding something I want to record -
let's say the TCM movie "King Kong" @3PM - I've clicked the gear icon, then RECORD.
Go to the next day and let's say I want to record an NBA game at 8PM.
I know that TCM frequently repeats showings and see that at King Kong is again playing at 7:30PM.
Oddly I see that this 2nd showing of King Kong is also apparently marked for reconding, which
if true, would interfere with the NBA game I'd much rather have.

[1] What can I expect to happen at 7:30 if the previous day's 3PM King Kong movie completed?
[2] Will my NBA game record?
[3] Is there any way to assign a recording PRIORITY in case of conflicts?
[4] Is there any way to record BOTH overlapping programs (if I actually wanted both)?

There are no tuner limitations wtth TVE. You can have as many simultaneous recordings as your hardware will allow. As for the duplicate events, I believe the guide shows them as being recorded to avoid scheduling it twice.

slampman is correct

The second King Kong is not actually scheduled. It just looks that way on the grid guide. Look at your scheduled events to see what's scheduled to record.

Thank you for the prompt help. I don't know what my recording hardware limits are so I've scheduled 2 one-hour shows @ midnight and 2 more @1AM to see what happens.

The limits really are more related to your Network/Internet download bandwidth.
The TVE stream rates will vary, but figure about 6 Mbits/second per TVE channel.

Channels DVR just grabs the streams from the network websites and dumps them to the drive you have your recording directory set to, so pretty low resource usage as far as CPU and Disk.
