[mythtv-users] Is CRID an international standard?

[blind Pete]

Hi *, 

Is CRID, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_reference_identifier>
an international standard, or just something strange that the local TV
stations are using for program IDs in their EITs?

Local stations are being consistent about using the ID part at the end
to identify programs, but are including the sub channel in the first
part, so MythTV thinks that the repeats are different programs.  

Is there anything that the user can do about this? 

These are the same episode of "At The Movies"; 
<CRID://melbourne21.abc.net.au/ac1324h040s00>
<CRID://melbourneabcnews24.abc.ne/ac1324h040s00>.  
Something seems to have truncated "t.au" from the second one.  Could
that be the problem?  Can MythTV be told that 21 and 24 (and a couple
of others) share things?
