Duplicate episodes being scheduled from Pass

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting

DVR v2025.11.13.2033
I was seeing duplicate episodes scheduled for recording from my pass.
Thinking maybe my eyes were tired, double vision and needed a rest?
So I deleted and recreated the guide database and they were still there.

Try upgrading to the latest pre-release. I'm on 2025.11.19.1617 and do not see this. I'm not sure if I ran the release you are on yet don't remember seeing the issue.

I remember this happening before. Duplicate episodes scheduled
The scheduler only finds a later airing and schedules it.
Later, the scheduler finds an earlier airing and schedules it.
Now both are scheduled. The scheduler doesn't remove the later scheduled airing.

Here are the DVR log entries for this S08E10 episode that was scheduled to record twice.
On 11/11 the scheduler found the Mon Nov 24 11:00:00PM airing
On 11/18 the scheduler found the Mon Nov 24 3:00:00AM airing
