While that's all true, the problem arises in that "Theme Channels" don't show up on the channel guide and they don't activate any sort of conflict manager. I think they're prioritized based on when they were created, but that could be out of date.

I find that all this isn't actually a problem. Anything I know I want to watch has a recurring weekly/daily reccording, and everything I vaugely like or actors I like have theme channels that randomly pick things up.
