weird recording priorities?

[andaval]

I am running Sage 2.1 (I believe) and had both Smallville and The Daily Show set up as favorites (with the Daily Show set up as lower priority in Favorites manager). I checked the upcoming recording schedule and two Smallvilles were scheduled to record back to back the next day (no conflict icon either). The next day, 20 minutes into the second Smallville, I notice that Sage is not recording the Smallville, and by checking the upcoming recording schedule, I see that it is waiting to record a Daily Show in 10 minutes. (None of the shows were watched, and I hadn't changed any settings since I checked the upcoming recording schedule) Why would it cancel a recording for a lower priority recording? Is there a log where I can see the logic steps it took to get there? How can I prevent this from occuring again?

Thanks...

A couple possibilities is that it is possible that the EPG data changed when it was updated & SageTV found that it either didn't need to record the Smallville that used to be in the schedule (does it still have a white outline?), or that it could record it at a later date so that the other show could get recorded too.

There have been suggestions in the past that the fav priorities may not be what they seem unless you use the option to move them in the fav list to specifically set their priority. (That hasn't seemed to have happened to me, but you never know...)
