[mythtv-users] Duplicate programs being recorded

Hi,

Ever since I upgraded from 0.18 to 0.19 (have not tried 0.20 yet) the 
duplicate episode matching seems to have failed.

Specifically, if a program has already been recorded and then expired 
off the disk, it gets re-recorded. If it is still available in the 
list of programs currently on the disk, it does *not* get 
re-recorded.

I have set the duplicate matching method to just title and subtitle, 
then recording schedule set to 'any time on any channel' and have 
verified that the Zap2It provided program ID for the duplicated 
programs are identical, as are the titles and subtitles.

I'm not sure how to proceed with investigating this and I'd appreciate 
any pointers. From my reading of the manual at 
<http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html>, I can't see 
anything I've done that would force an episode to be recorded over 
and over again.

Thanks for any suggestions,

   Rob
