It always redownloads the next day's worth of data, just to check to make sure 
there haven't been any changes in the schedule.  So, it can always fill in 
the endtimes then (one db hit to look up the next day's starting program per 
channel), and just assign an endtime of midnight to the unknown shows for the 
furthest day from now.  Missing endtimes further away than one day from now 
don't hurt anything, as the scheduler always goes through and re-schedules 
things once a day.
