/And/ if there is no programid for the show.  Since even with data that 
doesn't contain a programid, Myth is now generating programid's when the 
listings provider doesn't provide them, that means you'll almost 
definitely need to set duplicate matching to None.

And programid will interfere with any dup detection mechanism--if both 
shows have programid, programid is used as the sole dup detection method 
regardless of specified method (the only way to ignore programid is to 
set dup method to None).

This is likely why it worked for Vitani (who used None) and not for Paul 
(who, presumbably, used something else).
