First: Sorry about the crappy formatting.

Second: I guess that my problems are:

1) the sources for EIT are derived differently. Lets call the 1st the
master, as it is broadcast directly from the provider on the satellite
transponder on 13E. The 3rd is essentially derived from the 1st, and sent
over the DVBC transponder from the Cable provider. The 2nd I get from xmltv
for the analog source, which in my case (Switzerland, perhaps others?) does
not actually provide anything but the title and the showing time, and hence
the duplicate method matching sees these as different

2) my understanding of the recording schedules/duplicate matching: If I
select the program from the satellite and in the recording schedule select
"record only this showing", I end up with 2 recordings (Satellite and
Analog).  This doesn't make much sense to me. However, if I select "find and
record one showing", myth does the "right" thing, and takes the showing from
the better source (DVB-S), I think -- I have 2 upcoming recordings where the
scheduler says that the other sources have a later showing (not very
intuitive) although they all start at the same time.

My guess is that this "problem" only manifests itself because of the
different EIT information between the Satellite and Analog source.
