I get this on movies from DVB-T in Norway at least once a week. Bugged 
the hell out of me until I realized what was happening.  Quite often 
late night movies are scheduled for something like 22:50, and then 
rescheduled to something like 22:48. I always record a couple of minutes 
before program-start, so I end up with two recordings. The second 
recording, supposedly starting at 22:48, often starts recording LATER, 
so it misses the start. Often only one of the scheduled showings have a 
proper description. So, I end up with one showing of the full movie and 
one amputated. Which one has the proper description seems a bit random 
to me, but I have a hunch that there is a difference between long-term 
and short-term EIT data.
