 The ProSiebenSat1 channels ProSieben, Sat.1, Kabel Eins, Sixx and maybe
 more appear to have changed their EIT format for certain shows in the
 subtitle and description fields. This is on German DVB-C by provider
 WilhelmTel.

 For example, an episode of Criminal Minds used to have this:
 Title: 'Criminal Minds'
 Subtitle: ''
 Desc: '<plot summary>'

 Now it turned to this:
 Title: 'Criminal Minds'
 Subtitle: '<episode title>, Crime-Serie, USA 2011'
 Desc: '<plot summary>\n\n<list of cast, director, writer etc.>'

 While the little extra information is nice to have, this leads to failure
 of the duplicate detection because both subtitle and description are
 different from what they used to be, resulting in re-recording lots of
 episodes of shows that I've already watched in the past years.
