In theory, whatever it's recording should be more important (higher
priority) than anything else that's currently showing...
However, if you really feel like wasting time on LiveTV, you can go to
the upcoming recordings and "override" all the "would be" recordings
that exist in the current timeslot with a "Do not record this episode"
and then delete the recording to free up a capture card for LiveTV.

It /only/ does that (records a partial show) if it doesn't exist
elsewhere in the schedule. (True, it may later be added to the schedule
outside of the 2 weeks of data you have, but Myth is making a best
effort to ensure you get as much of the show as possible if it doesn't
know of a time when it will repeat.)
