I would say the title has been changed slightly but when checking here 
displays as "PBS News Hour".  I then checked for 'Original Airdate" and 
that is current -- reasoning was some local news state "January 1, 2000" 
so  gets interpreted as a repeat.

I would try going to the Programme Guide (block listing option), find 
and select 'PBS News Hour' there and create a new recording rule.  
S.N.:  While looking up the show I also noted 'PBS News Weekend' and 
'PBS News Special: CNN Presidential...' -- you'll need to accommodate 
these -- maybe a rule for "PBS News" to cover all options?  The circled 
letters in the corner of the Guide might also give a hint.

Quirky thing here (for me): I'm in Iowa and we have a state-wide PBS 
network with the main station near Des Moines and eight 'repeaters' plus 
numerous translators.  Originally when I set my MythTV up their PSIP for 
the main and three sub-stations  were "IowaPBS", so all four channels 
listed IowaPBS,  They eventually changed to PBS, PBS Kids, World and 
Create.  Just wondering if your PBS station updated, though seems like a 
PSIP change should not affect a title lookup.
