direct, I have an issue but I am not sure its the same one.  about 2 weeks
ago, I noticed that I was not getting updates.  After working with it for a
while, I realized that if I run mythfilldatabase as my mythtv user, it
seems to suceed but no schedule updates appear...If I run as root, it works
fine.  This was not always the case

updated its database.  Therefore the "no updates" message you got was
probably due to running it successfully at least once before.

running 0.27 release, not 0.27-fixes, so you have a version of MythTV that
requires you to always run mythfilldatabase as the user running mythbackend
and never as root.  So, the *proper* fix is to upgrade to 0.27-fixes.

TMS updates their database for up to a day.  See

--dd-grab-all gives me 16 days instead of 14 days without it.
