Based on my setup, I can get 2 copies of the same show recording
at the same time just if the description is a little different.
Although I get this because I am using 2 different programming
sources. Despite the fact that the "human readable" information
about the stations are the same, they are treated as unique
entities.
I wonder if this isn't something related to the (schedules direct)
data that could be fixed with cleaning and normalization.
