And means you will always have the most-current data for all days--which 
means you're less likely to miss recordings you want.  For example, if 
MythTV decides to record a later showing of a specific episode of a 
high-priority show to resolve a conflict for you, but the network 
decides a week and a half out not to do the later showing.  If you're 
not updating that day's data, MythTV wouldn't know the later showing was 
removed.  If, however, you update all days, every recording decision 
will be made with the most-current information available.

My recordings have never been so reliable since I started using 
--dd-grab-all (the day I sent the e-mail I linked, previously).  With 
the exception of truly last-second changes, schedule changes haven't 
been a problem.
