FYI, commenting on the Watch Recordings season/episode display before
the recent activity:

I use the Steppes theme and Schedules Direct. Prior to lookup (and in the event
that it failed) I believe the display came from recordedprogram.syndicatedepisodenumber.
So pre lookup, for example, I'd see: [1234] and after successful lookup, s01e65. Failed
lookup displays would remain [1234]. Roughly 1/2 of the shows have a
syndicatedepisodenumber.

Looking at old "Mr. Selfridge" recordings, the stored seasons/episodes are all 0/0
and the displayed values are [4412] -> [4417] for the 8 episodes.
