Recording conflict resolution at run-time

Can anyone tell me what the logic is for conflict resolution during recording.
Suppose I have 3 scheduled recordings, (1) chan 2 ending at 19:00, (2) chan 1 starting at 19:00 and (3) chan 3 starting at 1900.
If the first programme overruns, then something has to give. What does the Hummy do?
Does it continue (1) and drop 1 or both of the others, or start one (or both) of them late? Or does it stop (1) and record (2) and (3). Or does it have some clever rescheduling to find an alternative recording?

Assuming it works like the other Humax boxes, it will complete the first recording truncating the next one using the same tuner at the beginning. On other boxes the truncated recording is identified as a failed recording (even though the recording might only be missing 30 seconds or so at the beginning)
