[mythtv-users] Program ID duplicate matching

I'm noticing that ITV seem to be giving two different IDs to two
showings of the same show:(My guide data is EIT from both DVB-T and
DVB-S)

The Xtra Factor Sun Oct 31 09:00pm to 10:00pm ITV2 www.itv.com/24620469
The Xtra Factor Sun Oct 31 10:00pm to 11:00pm ITV2+1 www.itv.com/639780469

If my understanding is correct then because there are valid program
ID's then the Duplicate check Method, "Subtitle then Description" in
this case, is ignored.  This means that both showings are scheduled to
record  Is there a way to override program ID duplicate matching to
save having to add a manual override.  I would hate for this program
most of all to cause something else to be missed.  My first thought
was to cancel the scheduling of it altogether but...

In looking at this I have also noticed a behaviour I wasn't expecting.

This is what this part of my upcoming schedule looks like

"The X Factor"                      119 ITV1 HD 31 20:00-21:00  3 6 6  C 6 3
Panorama - "The Great Housing Rip   200 BBC NEW 31 20:30-21:00  1 0 0  A E 0
"Single Father"                     101 BBC One 31 21:00-22:00  1 0 0  A E 0
Taggart - Bloodsport                103 STV     31 21:00-22:05  1 0 0  A C 0
"Single Father"                     108 BBC HD  31 21:00-22:00  3 6 6  A 6 1
"The Xtra Factor"                   113 ITV2    31 21:00-22:00  1 1 1  A 1 0
"BBC News"                          101 BBC One 31 22:00-22:15  1 1 1  T 1 0
"The Xtra Factor"                   114 ITV2 +1 31 22:00-23:00  3 6 6  A 6 0


If I add a manual override to record Taggart then I get the following
schedule, which is what I am after.  Though interestingly the showing
of  The Xtra Factor on ITV2+1 is not shown as a conflict but
(correctly) as going to be recorded at an earlier showing  Does this
imply that the duplicate matching has kicked in again?
