[mythtv-users] When does mythfilldatabase trigger a schedule update?

[Derek Battams]

Quoting chris at cpr.homelinux.net:

Yes, you have to explicitly trigger the reschedule.  mythfilldatabase  
will do it itself (last thing it does), but then after you modify the  
program table, you need to trigger it yourself.

Use 'mythbackend --resched'
