They are all identical, every field is the same for all the recordings:

Title: Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament
Description: From Las Vegas. (Rerun)
Category: Sports event
Type: series (SH808780)
Original Airdate: 2006-03-12
Program ID: SH8087800000

I have Check for Duplicates in All recordings set, and Dup Check method 
is Subtitle and Description.

All sources are from DataDirect.
