I will note that the JSON server only provides schedules
for 2, 4, or 13 days, and, indeed, the downloaded data
from the new beta server does seem to have a slightly
smaller set of data when using --dd-grab-all than that
from the original tmsdirect servers (a bit more than
a day less by the reported dates in the log, I have not
looked at the actual XML output).  So, you would likely
see new data in another day or so.  To test on your
development instance you could always delete all your
channels (delete all video sources), recreate everything
and then run mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all.  It is the
only way to be sure.

I am going to continue to use only the new service for
a couple of days and watch the logs aggressively.  Now
that Robert has increased the timeouts, things look
good, but the only way to verify is to test and check
repeatedly over an extended period.
