Comment (by gigem):

 Replying to [comment:2 amlopezalonso@…]:
 > Single program is not obviously the case: any other "several recordings"
 option (like record always in this channel) would render repeats
 unavailable.

 I don't understand this.

 > What do you mean by "guide data not provide the needed information to
 detect repeats"? In the past, I only ticked the "ignore duplicates" to
 schedule recordings when no subtitle was available and a series name
 (title) was always the same.

 The guide data contains information that mythtv uses to identify programs
 that have been shown before.  For example, some guide data have an
 original air date field while others have an explicit new/repeat flag and
 might.  When present, mythtv uses the information to label some programs
 as repeats, aka previously shown.

 Note that repeats should not be confused with rebroadcasts.  Many networks
 rebroadcast the same program multiple times in a day or week.  If a
 program is rebroadcast, that does not necessarily make it a repeat.
