I think I would skip the day comparison.  According to the HOWTO files
I've seen, the previously shown field is automatically set to 1 if the
original date is more than 14 days prior to the starttime.  In Canada
it's quite common for the Canadian network to show a series premiere on
a different day than the American stations so an exact match would fail
even though the show is obviously new.  The use of programid instead of
syndicatedepisodenumber makes sense, though.
