Last night New Amsterdam and Lost came on at the same time. I have a dishpass set for both with Lost having priority. HD is set as my preference on both shows. So Lost was recorded OTA and it was going to skip NA if I had not caught it. Why did it not switch to my locals on E* and record NA when it was not priority for OTA at the time? I don't have any specific channels selected for either one. Is this just me or does it do this to everyone?

I think it thinks it was, but it wasn't it. It acts like the regualr tuner thinks that OTA tuner is going to record it so it skips and then the OTA tuner thinks that the regular tuner is going to record it so it skips it. So they both end up skipping the event.
If you schedule two OTA channels to record at the same time, the receiver picks the one that is higher priority to record. It does not have the logic to switch to the satellite channel, just compare the timer settings and select one. Dishpass might have corrected the problem.

We need a smarter receiver then. I would think if you use DP to set your recordings this might be a pretty good thing the receiver does.
