 Sometimes FTA EPG data contains updates.  For example the start time of a
 program might be changed by a minute relative to the previously advertised
 time.  This can result in two entries appearing in the program guide, both
 with identical title and episode data, but one of them appears to be
 scheduled for only one minute.  Guess which one the program guide
 indicates is set to be recorded and which is to be ignored as a repeat.

 New data should supersede old data.

 If there is doubt about whether a program is supposed to run from 18:01 to
 18:30 or from 18:00 to 18:29 then be generous and record from 18:00 to
 18:30.  Please DON'T record from 18:00 to 18:01 and say, the other 29
 minutes is just a repeat of the earlier one minute.  (When I found this
 problem I overrode the settings, rather than waiting to see what was
 actually recorded.)
