Comment:

 Thanks for the patch.  I won't accept it, however, since the chance of
 creating false positives is just too high.  When in doubt, we usually try
 to err on the side that results in more programs being recorded, even if
 they are duplicates.  It's easier to delete a duplicate recording after
 the fact than it is re-record a missed program that might not be shown
 again for a very long time, if ever.

 Anyway, the developer who does a lot of the XMLTV and EIT work would like
 to know why the existing EIT fixups don't handle your problem.  Please
 post on the mythtv-dev mailing list or drop by the #mythtv IRC channel.
 Ask for Karl Deitz in email or dekarl on IRC.
