It looks as though EPG data fetched with the mhegepgsnoop.py script
gets a value put in the "programid" field which seems to have
series/episode data as part of the values.  I have only seen it on
ChoiceTV as I only get that channel from MHEG5, but it would be worth
looking at the full MHEG5 data for all Freeview channels to see if
they all have the same.  I am running 0.24-fixes, and my recorded
table does not seem to have a "series" or "episode" field, so they
must be new in 0.25.  It will be interesting to see what values they
get from mythfilldatabase with the MHEG5 data after I upgrade.
