To be fair, "1 New At 6pm" also contained a mistake.

That would just be a typo on my part.

Yes I was very disappointed when I missed my recording.

They also changed "1 News At Midday"

to "1News At Midday"

and now it is "1News Midday"

I too would like to complain.

These changes appear to happen regularly. I've a broad range of recording
rules for the 6pm news. Looks like this batch happened around the recent
update to their info-graphics.

How about regular expression support ?

".*["oO0|nN|eE3"*|1*.*"nN|eE3|wW|sS5".*

should match any combination of "one news" with any capitalisation,
spacing, and any surrounding text.

(note- untested)

After my daily EPG update script runs mythfilldatabase, it also runs
an SQL script "epg_fixes.sql", and then runs "mythutil --resched". In
epg_fixes.sql, I currently have:

select
chanid,starttime,title,subtitle,left(description,20),season,episode,category,seriesid,programid
from program where title="1News At Six" order by programid;
update program set title="1 News At 6pm" where title="1News At Six";

to report and update the current "1 News" problem. SQL does have
regular expression capabilities, but so far I have only been using =,
LIKE and % type matching.
