Yep, I used to do that, and then changes like the following lead to 
missed recordings

"Brothers and Sisters" vs "Brothers amp Sisters" vs "Brothers & Sisters"
"CSI" vs "Crime Scene Investigations" vs "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 
<http://192.168.4.3/mythweb/tv/detail/5002/1202628600>" (Listed this week)

And the habit of appending the episode name to the title rather than 
putting this in as an Episode
eg

"Cold Case That Woman 
<http://192.168.4.3/mythweb/tv/detail/7035/1202283000>"

I might start looking at running my EIT data through something like 
'shephard' which has rules for normalising common program names.  This 
would simplify rules no end.

Failing that, anyone from TVNZ reading - PLEASE decide on one format =)
