        I run mine at around the same time (PDT) and my database is
correct.  mythfilldatabase always updates "tomorrow's" schedule so it
wouldn't have helped if you reran today.  Yesterday's (Thursday) run
should have picked up the updated schedule.  Were there any errors in
that run?  It's a good idea to save the daily mythfilldatabase logs
because there are occasional problems (channel name changes, format
changes, site down, ...) and you may need to rerun or fix the xmltv
config file.
