Manual recordings have no access to the subtitle, so it is likely that 
the developers used that instead of leaving subtitle blank. I would 
think that manual recordings do not normally use metadata lookup. If 
metadata lookup is used for manual recordings perhaps we should ignore 
subtitle on manual recordings or ignore subtitle if it contains a 
date-time. I think that calling the grabber with -N title date-time is 
not valid.
