    I get plenty of subtle guide errors in my data and some errors that
are just plain weird. It doesn't really take much. The title, subtitle
and description just have to be ever so slightly unequal and Myth will
think they are different.

    Having unique IDs in the guide data would be very useful. Marking something
as part of a network feed could be useful too. Tagging something as "NBC Feed
Monday primetime + 1" could be useful although I don't see it really ever
happening.
