Regarding this discussion from a few weeks ago, I've discovered that
the shows I originally mentioned, more often than not, don't seem to
have a description in the listing until the day they air, so the
--refresh-today will actually be great for this.

My question is this:  Does --refresh-today simply add today to the
default behavior of mythfilldatabase, or does it override it
completely?  I can't seem to find anything clear on that.  Thanks.
