You didn't actually resolve the conflict. If you want both shows when
there's a conflict, you must tell Myth how you want it to get both
shows. Since you want all of A including the end late ("overrecord")
and what's left of B after, you need to set an start early on program B
of -1 minutes (i.e. so it knows to start it at 8:01. Note that when
you've done this, you don't need to modify the priorities as it will be
able to get both shows even if they're the same priority.
