Editing would be a very hard work, as you have to make your own "reliable"
CRIDs. Future repeats come with other CRIDs, so you have to constantly edit
the EPG/oldrecorded.
In my case the CRIDs are sometimes delivered a few minutes before the start
(EIT Table present/following), or even after it started (not taking care for
scheduling and not saved into oldrecorded); all this makes (future)
scheduling very unreliable.

Thx for pointing me to the oldrecorded table, this should be the sql update
I meant:
update mythconverg. oldrecorded
set seriesid = ''
   ,programid = ''
;
