How do the title, subtitle, and description fields compare for the different
shows (both the recorded and non-recorded ones)? Also, you could try
turning on the 'record even if it's a dup' option on the advanced recording
options screen, but even that won't get around shows that have the exact
same title, subtitle, and description if you record one show and another
with the same info comes on even if it's really different. Myth will assume
they are the same and not record the 2nd since it sees you still have the
first (with the same info) recorded.
