Is there a way to get a Warning for channel conflict

Is there a way for Windows 7 to warn me when I have recording conflicts ?

If you look at the "view scheduled" page it will mark any show that will not record due to conflict. But I assume what you are looking for is some proactive way for the system to notify you (like through email or a pop-up).

I am unaware of any such method to do this, but I am pretty sure it is possible for a third party tool, using the WMC API, to do this. Someone with some skills would have to write it though...

If it puts an event in the event log for this then it would be pretty easy to get an e-mail but I haven't had a conflict that I know of to check for an event.

I have never seen an event for a conflict.

Would be great ! If we had a pop-up alert on the PC
