As one of the "(very very?) few that were using Schedules Direct data 
using the internal DD grabber and moved to using the XMLTV grabber", I 
would like to understand this.

When I moved from the internal DD grabber to the XMLTV grabber 
(tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite), I did not notice any problem. If it was 
using a different series id I would think that programs previously 
scheduled would start being scheduled for recording again (there are 
hundreds of reruns every week and I do not use the "new programs only" 
flag). I thought it used the series id for matching previously recorded?

If I apply your new changes (without running the xml update), will I 
notice previously recorded programs being re-recorded?

I struggle to understand why the situation is different for those who 
moved from DD to XMLTV to the new patch, and those who just move from DD 
to the new patch.

I have removed series id from all recording rules after having some 
missed recordings.
