I am having this problem as well.  At first I couldn't tell, because EIT
scans were keeping my listing up to date for at least 24 hours in the
future and I didn't notice the missing schedule beyond that time.  Here are
the steps that I have tried...

1) Downgraded to 0.24.  Works like a charm.

2) In 0.25, ran mythfilldatabase on the command line.  Got this response:

2012-04-24 20:51:47.699455 E  DataDirect: Failed to get data: Download error
2012-04-24 20:51:47.699473 E  Encountered error in grabbing data.
2012-04-24 20:51:47.700508 E  Failed to fetch some program info
...
2012-04-24 20:51:57.718695 E  DataDirect: GrabNextSuggestedTime: Could not
download

Note: I don't see very much data that would be useful in tracking down this
problem in the mythfilldatabase log files, but I'm not mythtv guru, so I
could very well be wrong.

3) Tried to manually download directly from SD using a web browser (
www.schedulesdirect.org/getdata).  This worked perfectly (although would be
a bit tedious to do myself... yeah, I'm lazy ;-)

4) Thinking that something got screwed up in the upgrade to 0.25, I
reloaded all of mythtv (deleted all source, libraries, binaries, configs,
wiped out the mythconverg databases, etc), got the latest fixes/0.25 from
git, re-compiled and re-installed.  This time when in mythtv-setup, the
lineup dropdown would not populate after connecting to SD, so there seems
to definitely be a systematic problem with connecting to Schedules Direct.

5) I've tried every way I can think of to test if this is a problem with my
system or mythtv... anyone have any suggestions on where to go next?  I can
provide logs as needed.

Cheers,
Brandon
