That is funny because this is exactly my problem. Worse, the start and 
end times differ about +/-1 minute as well. So don’t tell me this case 
doesn’t exist anymore.
I wouldn’t trust blindly the EPG information. The EPG title for the UEFA 
football match last Monday was changed from „UEFA <something>” to 
„Italien - Irland”, so Mythtv refused to record (no match). So I know of 
more problems recording with EPG information as only rule set.
