The clash message basically gives you 3 options (although the wording of the message perhaps isn't clear)
- Give priority to new reording
- Give Priority to existing recording
- forget about new recording all together.
With overlap protection set to clip the recording NOT given priority will be clipped.
With overlap protection set to cancel (i.e. re-schedule) the recording NOT given priority will be re-scheduled if possible
Also keep in mind that not all clashes are detected at the time a recording is set as not all channels give a full 2 weeks worth of programmes in their EPG so a new recording could be set no problem 2 weeks in advance but the clash could be detected a week later. However the TiVo box will automatically re-schedule the lower priority in this case.
You can of course look for alternate recordings manually when you get a clash message but it would in my eyes be a waste of time when a re-schedule can be requested via one button press on the clash warning popup. Each to their own I guess.
