Unfortunately some old eps are shown as "Have I Got News For You" and 
some as "Have I Got Old News For You" with seemingly no logic (episodes 
in the same season are shown with either title, so it doesn't seem to be 
a cut-off date thing). So your user recording just "Have I Got News For 
You" in the hope of getting new eps only, is already getting (some) old eps.

Anyway, we don't usually rename program titles just because they are 
repeats, e.g. "Mock the Old Week", "Old QI", so I don't see why HIGNFY 
should be different.

I agree that "Bit More" should be titled differently, just like "QI XL", 
as it is different content, but the other two titles are for exactly the 
same content and same on-screen title.
