DVR wants to record a movie it already recorded

This movie recorded last Sunday:

I see it in the DVR schedule tomorrow, same movie, same channel:

I made sure that it was not because of a manual recording, it's actually from the pass:

Logs have been submitted as 65dae5c9-ecb9-49f4-9b38-ec7419a001d9.

I just noticed the tiny difference in the title with the extra comma. I'm guessing they might also have a different program ID for it. If that's the case, why would they do that?

Bingo!

How can we double the number of Movies we have without acquiring new ones?
Change the Title and Poster image and call it a new Movie. :rofl:

Thanks for confirming.

I should probably know this already but please remind me again, what is the easiest way to find program IDs?

For a recording, View Details and click the underlined File ID.
For a scheduled recording, view the scheduled recording job at /dvr/jobs or use the API & Feed Explorer > Jobs

What I did from search is to click on each movie found and look at the browser url
