[mythtv-users] Re: how many days for mythfilldatabase?

[Kevin J. Slater]

Aha! Now this mystery is solved. I didn't mention that I'm also running
the ppv.pl script that Nathan put together. This fills the ppv info for
DirecTV out at least 1 week into the future and it's plenty more than 20
channels worth. So I have a little more work to do after I do my ppv updates.
