Osma, have you considered to implement other fixups? I've been running 
something like 6 months with local Finnish fixup that:

* checks for 'Stereo' text in description, and if finds sets flags 
accordingly and strips 'Stereo' text from the description.

* finds event numbers (partnumer and parttotal), like '2/10' from the 
description and sets event fields accordingly

* removes STUPID prefixes that are present in some movie titles and also 
with some children programs, including: 'Elokuva:, SubLeffa:, 
LauantaiAction:, TV2:' prefixes. Doesn't strip 'FST:' prefix because 
that suggest Swedish program and is relevant information.

* removes ':' and '::' prefixes from the program titles. At least couple 
of months ago these kind of titles were sometimes present at YLE DVB-T 
channels. This is/was a bug somewhere in YLE/Digita side and was visible 
also in YLE's own website containing program listings. Don't know if 
this has been already fixed since I've been running with this fixup..

* removes parental ratings from the titles and moves them to 
descriptions (e.g. (K15), (K-18))

* checks for ':' in the program tile and if found, splits title to title 
and subtitle accordingly.

I've missed the "rerun" strip that you have. That's really needed e.g. 
with some MTV3 programs.

I haven't pushed these forward because I don't know what of these fixups 
should be enabled for all users. I like these but others probably don't. 
Also some of these fixups (e.g. subtitle) go wrong in some special cases 
so these do not work 100%.

Was it stuarta that mentioned somewhere user-defined fixups.. those 
would be very handy to handle these kind of fixups..
