[mythtv-users] OT: UK XMLTV users and Only Connect

If you're using the Radio Times XMLTV listings and record Only Connect
in the UK, read on...

I've noticed that the upstream listings for this week's regular
episode have duplicated the same series and episode IDs that were used
for last week's Children In Need Special. (Series 8, episode 8).

The result of this is that if you have duplicate detection enabled for
your Only Connect rule, tonight's episode will not record due to the
duplicate programme ID, despite having a different subtitle and
description.

Temporarily disabling duplicate detection or specifically forcing this
evening's episode to record (the preferred option IMO) will get around
this issue. Next week's (and further) episodes should record normally.

Cheers,
Nick
