Just tested this and it doesn't appear to work correctly with
my DataDirect feed.  It matches, e.g., an 11/25/2005 of "The X's"
(which I recall seeing listings for in the past) with Original Airdate
11/25/2005, Episode Number 105, program ID EP7917570001.  As I read that,
it's the first showing of the fifth (or sixth) episode of the series,
not a first episode.  Would it work to look for episode number 101
instead of the programid or is that style of numbering just common,
but not actually standard?
