Thursday night football fail again?

Last week, even though 2nd (now 1st) in priority, Thursday Night Football was scheduled to record the 3AM repeat. I checked it earlier in the week and it was again scheduled to record the 3AM repeat so I changed it to record the live version. Came home last night and no football had recorded, it wasn't even set to record the 3AM version. Looked at upcoming and next week was fine, but the following week is 3AM again. I have removed the 1p's for football now that someone here showed how to make an all-encompassing NFL wishlist and will go back to manually setting up each game. BUT, shouldn't the first priority record 100%? That's how it's worked since the inception of the priority list (of which I was a beta tester) ? If not, what's the use of the list? I went through more than a decade of Tivo becoming more and more reliable, but it seems like lately, that trend has reversed. Some 1p's don't record due to errors in the new data, deleted wishlists do record because zombies are in(?), my priority list has changed order on its own and several 1p's and wishlists have disappeared without explanation . Is there anything I can do on my side to make Tivo honor the priority list?
