All, Perhaps this is one for the wish-list.
Here in the UK (and probably everywhere else!) we have a few channels that follow another channel by one hour. For example E4 and E4+1. Unfortunately when mythfilldatabase grabs new data from the Radio Times website there are often differences in title, subtitle and description between the two channels. When there are scheduled recordings on these channels I often end up with several recordings of the same program, no matter the setting of the duplicate detection. Would it be useful to be able to define a channel as being a copy of another channel, plus an offset? In this way Myth should be able to more effectively detect duplicate recordings. It might also have the side-effect of making shorter download times for listings updates! Perhaps this could be incorporated into channel setup with a dialog to allow the user to select a channel and an offset. This data can be stored in the database (channels table). When Myth checks the schedules it can "create" a virtual channel to display in the epg, use when calculating conflicts etc.... I'm not familiar with the mythtv codebase, so please let me know if this has been suggested before, or if this is just a silly idea!
