No additions, but just an observation.  We're still using the same rule 
with no modification since we set it up.  We're using epgsnoop/XMLTV 
data not EIT, and have got a "Record at any time on this channel" rule 
set up for ER on TV2.  Only thing to do is remove the "Match duplicates" 
since they hardly update the descriptions.
