It's not bumped by anything - MythWeb shows it as not marked-up at all with the usual borders, like it's been totally ignored. I do a mythfilldatabase with --dd-grab-all every morning, so I'm working with the freshest SchedulesDirect data.

Except... that's actually not the issue. Instead it's a hole in the 2 recording rules I derived from others' advice, and a 5-minute time shift that some channels have.

Here are my two rules:

Title: Football [early]
Additional Tables: , program pnext
Search Phrase: 

    program.category = 'Sports event' AND program.title LIKE '%FL%Football'
    AND pnext.title LIKE '%FL%Football' AND program.chanid = pnext.chanid
    AND program.endtime = pnext.starttime AND program.first > 0

Title: Football [late]
Additional Tables: , program pnext
Search Phrase: 

    program.category = 'Sports event' AND program.title LIKE '%FL%Football'
    AND pnext.title NOT LIKE '%FL%Football' AND program.chanid = pnext.chanid 
    AND program.endtime = pnext.starttime AND program.first > 0

The Early rule will not add 30 extra minutes because the next program is another football game.

The Late rule will add 30 minutes because the next program is NOT another football game.

Here's the MythWeb search results:

Notice the last 3 entries are the same title as the 3 before it, yet aren't marked. But, the last 3 showings are delayed 5 minutes, so the Later showing is chosen and the even-later showings are ignored, even by the Early rule. I did a Title Search in the frontend and the 3 showings unmarked in MythWeb are marked with '-'. 

Question is, why aren't these showings marked in any way? Not as "earlier showing chosen", or "ignored". 

For now I have to create a "Record only this showing" rule to choose the last in the list (because it's a reliable HD broadcast).

Can anyone see why this would happen?
