My version doesn't look at the title except when it is looking for and exact match (starttime, endtime, chan & title). Otherwise it assumes that if the new program information overlaps the old then we run with the new info. The title of the program isn't considered because it is entirely possible that one program has been replaced by another which is completely different from the previous one. Here in the UK this happened on Friday and Saturday, with the networks shuffling things around to fit in coverage of the Pope's funeral and Charlies Wedding (which got moved from Friday to Saturday..)
