[mythtv-users] Problem resolution (tips)

[David Tarkowski]

Thanks for the info.  Until I figure out a good way to do this, I'll
probably write a script (read "kludge") that deletes entries from the
oldrecorded table for shows that tend to have duplicate entries.  And
then run that script every day.
