[mythtv-users] Anyone else have guide data problems? (SchedulesDirect only)

A few years ago someone wrote a patch to deal with that, but
apparently they never submitted it officially. More recently, someone
picked up that patch and submitted it. It got reworked and added to
the trunk about a month ago. It adds a --refresh-day flag to
mythfilldatabase (you can add this in the setup screen for
mythfilldatabase). I have mine set to also refresh 4 and 7 days out

What I really would like to do is a --refresh-all every day, but I try
to be more polite to SD than that. It would be nice if there was a way
that SD could do some sort of diff that would only send us the
changes.
