I'm setting up Myth to record all the games of my favorite sports team, but 
not having much luck.  Here are my problems:

1) The games will be carried on 5 different channels this year.
2) The title of the games is always "MLB Baseball" no matter who is playing.

For these reasons I can't do an "Always record this recording on any 
channel" since it will pick up other games as well, because the title of 
every team's games is "MLB Baseball".  I also can't do 5 seperate "Always 
record this recording on this channel" recordings because 3 of the 5 
channels will be broadcasting other team's games at some point during the 
season.

Since the subtitle always shows the teams playing, I thought I would do 
something like this:

mysql> UPDATE program SET title="MLB Baseball (TEX)" WHERE title="MLB 
Baseball" and subtitle LIKE "%Texas%";

This way I could create a recording to always record "MLB Baseball (TEX)" on 
any channel, or so I thought.  However, when I did this, all of the start 
times on the programs that were changed were set to the current date and 
time - so the game that is 9 days away now started immediately and lasted 
209 hours.  Why was this?

I almost had an elegant solution... but almost almost never counts.  Has 
anyone else been able to wrap their head around this problem?
