Ok, The first "The Event" is SH012665810000
The second is                SH012665810000
Exactly the same.

I used to use this theme, but for a while the scroll windows were screwed up. It seems they might have gotten fixed. I'll try
using it again for a while.

I hate these menus, I can never find anything. Where is the "Schedule Options" screen? I looked under Manage Recordings,
setting->general, Settings->TV settings-> general, and nothing else looked relevant.
