In the little bit of testing I've been able to do, it seems it can
happen it is unable to retrieve the zap2it data, either from their
server being down, etc. I assume this is because it's clearing out a
couple days first, then loading it back... But, the problem seems to
happen even when internet connectivity is working fine.

I also see there's some options to disable the deletion of program
data, and such. I may play around with those...

Maybe if mythfilldatabase downloaded the new data first, verified it's
contents are valid, and then deleted/updated the guide data this
wouldn't happen...
