I can't offer a way to detect duplicates but in the past when Bernie
Keith Rock 'n' Roll Show was broadcast on several local stations I
would pick one of those stations and download that one. I chose
Northampton even though I'm in Norfolk (I think that may now come under
Three Counties) so the pvr file had these two lines in it :-
fields desc
channel BBC Radio Northampton

Sadly the BBC have decided to bin off Bernie Keith on a Saturday as
they did with Geoff Barker earlier.
