That's a listings problem and not a scheduling problem. If the
listings were correct in MythTV the scheduler would have picked that
up.

You can (in SVN, don't think it's available in 0.19) run the EIT
grabber on DVB channels that get their listings from uk_rt to update
them if there are any last minute program timing changes (such as the
one you note) but using the 'find one' or 'record at any time'
scheduling options will mean your recording is not constrained to the
start/end times of the showing existing when you create the rule.

I've had a few cases (most notably recording Dream On) where uk_rt has
not updated their listings, even when ITV4's schedules have reflected
new transmission times days in advance.
