Clipping is a real pain on These TiVo's and they don't provide enough tools to make best use of them.
Without running a test to check, I don't think Season Pass order has any connection to which show will be clipped. It is only used to decide which show will be recorded.
It would be nice if the TiVo software would give priority to clipping shows back to back on the same channel first.
TiVo are working on providing more accurate timing Eg 8:33PM finish instead of 8:30PM which may help down the track.
But I don't really have a good solution for you. I have turned off clipping and once a week I just make sure everything works correctly for the coming week.
You may want to consider options like not padding CSI as it continues to Cold Case, or buying another unit to handle the overload (shows do stream nicely between units).
As for your parents unit, its always best to delete all the channels first and then rescan. It will not effect any of your season passes or ToDo list (unless the channel is no longer there).
