MythTV should be deleting any program guide data more than seven days 
old as part of its daily cleanup routine. In 0.25, that was increased to 
ten days and made configurable, although doing so required tinkering in 
the database.

If the code detailed there is failing to run, you should see something 
about the error in your backend logs.
