A method for identifying scheduled media asset access conflicts with a user equipment device, the method comprising: generating for display a media guide that includes at least some of a plurality of media asset listings and a time bar; determining a first portion of the time bar that represents a first time interval during which media assets, for which a respective function of a media guidance application has been assigned, are scheduled for transmission, wherein the media assets correspond to a portion of the plurality of media asset listings, and wherein the function of the media guidance application assigned to a first of the media assets includes a scheduled recording, a reminder for the first media asset, or a recommendation to a user to access the first media asset; generating, for display in the first portion, a first indicator to represent the first time interval during which the media assets, to which the function of the media guidance application has been assigned, are scheduled for transmission; determining a second portion, within the first portion of the time bar, that represents a second time interval during which scheduled transmission times of the media assets overlap; determining whether the overlap in the scheduled transmission times for the media assets causes a resource conflict; and in response to determining that the overlap causes a resource conflict: generating, for display in the second portion, a second indicator to represent the second time interval during which the scheduled transmission times of the media assets overlap; receiving a first user input selecting the second portion of the time bar; generating for display a representation of the media assets for which the overlap in scheduled transmission times has been identified; receiving a second user input changing the function of the media guidance application assigned to one of the identified media assets to be assigned to a future transmission of the one of the identified media assets; determining whether there exists a future transmission of the one of the identified media assets; and changing the media guidance application assigned to the one of the identified media assets to be assigned to the future transmission of the one of the identified media assets. generating for display a media guide that includes at least some of a plurality of media asset listings and a time bar;
