I use schedules direct xmltv, which provides season and episode 
information that is accurate, so I don't use the metadata grabber as 
everything is present in the schedule data.

When there is a double episode, it shows the season and episode of the 
first of the two episodes, plus title and description that includes 
both. The biggest problem is that in reruns, the two individual episodes 
are recorded again if they show as separate shows.

See this link for details of the xmltv grabber.
