Anyone else? Yes, I noticed the same thing within the last two weeks.
What drew my attention to it was when I checked on upcoming recordings
and found quite a few shows missing. (Letterman, Leno, Conan, and Craig)
It seems like Zap2IT has a very specific memory loss - Late Nite TV.
While I couldn't exactly "fix" it, I did change the parms on the
mythfilldatabase to update/refresh today (and tomorrow, I think),
and I changed the frequency of updates from three/four days to
one day.
I didn't like doing the latter step, because it puts more load on ZAP2IT.
On the other hand, ZAP2IT is the cause of the problem, so they get
their lumps.
If I were a consciencious person, the right thing to do would be to
revert back to the earlier mythfilldatabase settings, say in a month,
and see if the NO DATA problems recur.
