My cron of >--refresh-today at 6pm caught this and I did not miss any recordings.  This press conference as I recall was not announced the day before.  Now, for the most recent press >conference, Z2L did not seem to do this but that's not to say they will not in the future.

Actually TMS did update for the last conference for me. It could well
have depended on getting some data from the TV Stations/Networks/Cable
Companies.



But for those one off type events, using a generic --refresh-today may
not help unless you have a cron job that runs it at 6PM or so. That
defeats the purpose of the next suggested run TMS feature.
