These IDs are supposed to come from DataDirect, but something else must also be populating them. I've been having the same issues with a number of shows showing up as Duplicates, which means I needed to change the recording rules to disable duplicate checking which is very annoying.

A scan of my database shows I've got over 1400 entries in my Program table with a programid starting MV, including shows like The Pacific, 30 Rock etc. This really isn't good.

I'm also wondering if Jamu is in some way involved?
