Systems and methods for facilitating setting of television program series recording priority ranking include functionality that monitors television series program viewing habits of a user for a plurality of different television program series. The system then changes television program series recording priority rankings to resolve recording conflicts based on the monitoring of the television series program viewing habits. In some embodiments, the system first sends a notification to the user of an option to upgrade a recording priority ranking. Additionally, the system may record television program episodes whose recordings were skipped due to them having a lower recording priority ranking. The system may record such skipped television program episodes during the next time slot in which a skipped episode is rebroadcast and does not conflict with a higher priority broadcast.
