In your listings data, does the title include the episode's duration,
or the subtitle? Are you using subtitle plus description duplicate
matching?

If you look further back for '24' episodes, is there an even earlier
episode with 038 in the string? If you look forward to upcoming '24'
episodes, are the numbers incremented in an obvious manner?

Separate from the missed recording, I'm guessing this rule was not
place for the 24 season premiere episodes of the 4 shows over 2
nights?
