AFAIK according to the DVB standard it is perfectly legal to have different 
titles for different episodes/events in a series.

With better/any "record series" support, this issue would not exist.Also it 
would allow for improvements to the recording GUI (series could be handled 
differently).

Personally I'd much rather fix the issue in a general way, rather then just 
adding a fixup for my provider.
