I mean the guide

Of course the "mythtv pc" can, but it takes hours. I want to boot the "mythtv 
pc" and sync the programming guide immediately. The  "mythtv pc" is booted 
only, when I want to record something and that is once a month or so.

I have an understanding problem with xmltv.

Would this be a good syntax for cron.daily?
su tvprg -c "/usr/bin/tv_grab_it" --output tv_grab_it.xml | tee -a "$LOGFILE"

How do I avoid, that  the programming guide is only _updated_ the next day 
with xmltv?

How should I import the downloaded file at the "mythtv pc"? It is not possible 
to use nfs, but rsync.

What is the difference between mythfilldatabase --file and --dd-file ?

Can you recommend a syntax for the import, which can be used with cron.daily 
or better after reaching runlevel 3. Maybe it is in idea to put a script in 
"autostart" of KDE.
