Hmm... I thought that was the actual problem though, the information that
MythTv collects from the HDHR stream versus what SD has in their database
being different or non-matching.  I could be way off here because my
memory is a bit fuzzy and I'm not @home, but I thought that was the
general problem as a whole...
