 So how do you stop MythTV constantly re-recording episodes? I've just installed Shepherd on a test system, see snippet as follows:  title               | subtitle                                           | programid      |

| The Big Bang Theory | The Pants Alternative/The Wheaton Recurrence       | EP100797097183 |  Whenever there are back to back episodes of a tv series they just keep getting re-recorded because MythTV always interprets it as a generic unidentifiable episode (where no programid provided which there shouldn't be because it is not a single episode). Or alternatively where a programid is included it skips whichever episode misses having its programid listed. Title/subtitle duplicate detection doesn't help because the episodes can be in any order, from any non consecutive series.
