[mythtv-users] Same program with different program IDs

My MythTV setup has both a DVB-T tuner (getting UK Freeview) and a
DVB-S/DVB-S2 tuner (getting FreeSat).
I'm using the Radio Times XMLTV grabber for listings. Everything mostly
works, except that I'm seeing two different styles of program IDs with
the result that MythTV will frequently try to record two showings of the
same program. For example:
+----------+--------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+
| sourceid | chanid | title | subtitle | programid |
+----------+--------+----------+---------------------+---------------------+
| 4 | 9941 | Casualty | Duty of Care | EP14545898517q |
| 4 | 13356 | Casualty | Duty of Care | EP14545898517q |
| 3 | 3001 | Casualty | Duty of Care | fp.bbc.co.uk/1ftwld |
source id 4 corresponds to the FreeSat tuner, with the two different
channels being BBC1 and BBC1 HD. MythTV tries to record both the BBC1
HD version from FreeSat, and the BBC1 version from FreeView because the
program IDs differ.
What's confusing is that if I completely wipe the program table and
re-run mythfilldatabase everything is OK, and then at some point some of
the program IDs change.
Can anyone explain the two different formats of program ID? Is one
coming from the EIT listings?
Any suggestions on how to fix this so that the same program always gets
the same ID?
