This is because the ""original airdate"" in the database is populated with a value usually more than 4 or 5 years ago (in one case, it's dated 1953!! [ABC World News Tonight]), for every instance of the program. I would suggest that the 'rerun' flag and the 'original airdate' column in the program table be ignored when the 'category' == ""News"". That way, mythweb will not indicate that I've previously recorded next week's local 6:00pm newscast. It might be trickier with 'category' == ""Newsmagazine"" -- they are often also shown with the 'rerun' flag and very old 'original airdate' [CBS 60 Minutes == '1968-09-24']... but some newsmagazine shows -are- indeed, repeats... a re-televising of a specific episode, or what-have-you. I think my suggestion (above) will work for listings with 'category' == ""News"" ... but not sure we can ever get accurate results with 'category' == ""Newsmagazine"".
