[mythtv-users] [UK] ITV Channels Freeview and Freesat different series/program IDs

[John]

I have both freeview and freesat on my myth backend, and found a ( 
slightly) annoying problem with ITV channels. As these channels are 
exactly the same from both sources, I have matching channum/callsign etc.

  If I schedule a "record all showings" and set the scheduling to check 
for duplicates, and prefer freesat ( higher quality), it will record 1 
copy from Freesat, and then at another time, one from Freeview.  They 
don't record at the same time, so the scheduling is preferring freesat.

The subtitle and description match exactly,  but the problem is that 
where there is series-id/program-id they are different. Does anybody 
know if the source eit is different, or its a parsing issue from mythtv, 
that could be tweaked in fixups ? BBC channels don't show this variance 
between freeview and freesat.

An example here 17260 is ITV3 freesat, 9010 is ITV freeview


mysql> select chanid,title,subtitle,seriesid,programid,description  from 
recorded where subtitle like "%greek%";

looking at an example, the programid looks similar, ( same last four 
digits) .


Is there a duplicate option which ignores the series/programid ?
