Yeah it's the radiotime's stuff.
This sort of problem might also apply to people who fill their
database from more than one source.

I'm thinking about a script to modify the database after
mythfilldatabase is run and set inconsistant information to one of the
options. Will have to do a bit of investigation about exactly what
mythfilldatabase does and on what conditions.
