We need a bit more information to help if you want to work out why
this is happening.

This is a problem caused by the EPG data really - not MythTV.  In the
worst case, it is possible to use a Custom recording rule where you
write SQL to tell the scheduler exactly what you want it to do.  I did
that for my mother's Coronation Street recordings, so that it recorded
CS episodes that were broadcast after 18:00 each day.  Otherwise she
would get very confused by all the afternoon repeats that were
recorded.
