Hmm ....

I think this caused my mythtv system to miss recording this programme
last night.   I'd created a recording rule and seen the programme in
the upcoming recording list; but it didn't get recorded and there's no
sign in the logs that mythttv made any attempt to record it.

I presume what happened is that I created the recording pre-fixup and
then, following a subsequent xmltv run, the programme title changed
and no longer matched the rule?

I've recreated the recording rule to catch the repeat.

Interestingly the two recording rules I've now got contain different
seriesid and programid values.  I think I'd have expected them to be
the same?

Maybe I've just been unlucky but perhaps there's a warning there for
others.  I might look at creating my own custom record rules, which I
guess is in effect what the fixups are?
