Oh wait, no, I keep consistently forgetting that the EP->SP change
happened -before- I started pulling data from SD, e.g., I noticed it
in mid-Aug when that first series stopped recording (and noticing that
is what kept me from noticing that the important part was that the
-title- of the series had changed as well and sent me on the wild
goose chase; without that, I might have noticed the "The" that had
appeared in the title).

So the EPnnn->SPnnn stuff in seriesid & programid does seem to predate
the actual DD->SD cutover, which makes me believe that SD has nothing
directly to do with it; instead, TMS appears to be changing (or have
completely changed; I haven't checked exhaustively) what they put in
that field for some reason.
