Really, this issue either has to be fixed at source or your software becomes more intelligent at recognising that two programmes with the same ID either side of a short programme are in fact one continuous programme.
Thanks for your help Daniele and Happy New Year!

<p>This is a constant problem on ITV2 and Paramount - see Doug’s example from the first post. Tonight on Paramount, there are two films, A Fist Full of Dollars and Jason Statham’s Parker that are interrupted by the programme Access. I guarantee that both will be affected by this issue. <br><br></p>
<p>Do you mean that the problem is already there in the EPG data fed to you by the respective channels? If so, can you give them a kick to get them to play nice?</p>
I’m having the same problem. The planning (not on replay) is only made against the first part, but both parts are marked as being planned. Just the first part is recorded.
Makes sense that this would happen if the EPG on both parts are the same, but that knowledge doesn’t solve the problem.
