1. A computer-implemented method comprising: identifying a scheduled video program recording conflict between video programs, wherein the video programs are scheduled to be recorded at a same time; determining whether there is at least one alternative recording opportunity for one of the video programs; determining, by a processor, a conflict status of at least one video program slot based on whether there is at least one alternative recording opportunity for the one of the video programs, wherein the conflict status provides information applicable to determining a resolution of digital video recorder (DVR) scheduling for the video programs; providing conflict status identifiers to video program slots corresponding to the video programs based on the conflict status of the at least one video program slot; providing, by the processor, an option to manually resolve the scheduled video program recording conflict based on the conflict status identifiers; and resolving the scheduled video program recording conflict based on manual input.
