As mentioned, all of those old options listed above will continue to 
work.  Using them will print a warning to stderr as they are parsed, and 
depending on how you run mythfilldatabase, stderr may get discarded and 
those warnings never seen.

While Michael Dean has indicated that North American users should all 
just be using --dd-grab-all, and refreshing their whole schedule at 
once, I'm responding to this for the benefit of those not using 
Schedules Direct for guide data.  The new --refresh option only controls 
which days guide data is to be collected for.  It does not replace any 
other options with regard to filtering or handling of that information.  
The --dont-refresh-tba option still works as before, and obviously 
indicates those TBA entries will be updated by default.

> Does running with mythfilldatabase --refresh 1-3 also grab new guide data or only refresh those days?

It will only modify the behavior for those specific days. In particular, 
that command would replace the previous...

mythfilldatabase --refresh-second --refresh-day 3

Tomorrow is automatically refreshed by default, and the old parser would 
disable that using --dont-refresh-tomorrow.
