Conflicts. Meaning of icons

[FamilyMan]

In the conflicts list that you get to look at but not change, some of the items in the list have the "conflict icon" next to them and some do not. What does this mean?

There was a discussion about this here but the proposed reason doesn't seem to have explained it for everyone.

I am not using Intelligent Recording therefore all my conflicts are between favorites. So based on the info in the other thread, the additional conflict icon next to some of the items in the conflict list might mean three or more favorites are attempting to record in the same time slot. It can't mean two or more items are conflicting because two items competing for the same slot is the basic meaning of "conflict" and the item that didn't "win" is listed in the conflict window without an icon. It also can't mean an item is conflicting with a favorite versus an IR item because I don't have any IR items to contend with. If it's true that three or more favorites are attempting to record in the same time slot then there's a bug because it doesn't show all the items that are in conflict.

Another possibility is that it means nothing and it's not supposed to be there at all

What? According to that thread MixxMaster said:

Ok, after going through my recording conflicts manually, it seems that the Mini Frey TV with the exclaimation in it is in fact a conflict between two(or more) favorites.

So he says 2 (or more) Favorites causes the mini TV conflict to show up. (Doesn't have to be three)

And then he says:

And the ones without a Mini Frey TV w/ !, are conflicts between a favorite, and another type of recording, as I surmised.

So if you're not doing IR and you have a conflict listed it could be a conflict with a favorite and a manual recording.
