I just submitted a patch to "suppress duplicate messages":

     http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/8367#comment:3

I added comments to #8367 because #6729 is locked. I added the patch to

P.S. Why lock a ticket? This just forces people to create or modify 
duplicates, and prevents people from sharing their experiences or fixes.
