I have the same problem with 'Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament', 
they all have the same title, description, and Program ID, yet it is set 
to record all of them (13 episodes this week alone on various channels). 
I guess I could force it to just record on one channel, but it still 
seems like a bug, or at least an anomaly.
