Ouch!...yes absolutely!  I didn't catch that possible
misinterpretation at all. Thanks for clearing that up :D.

The host file change is in fact all you need.  Just to clarify that
specifically:  The code used by mythfilldatabase gets the listings
from the host name "webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com".
That hosts file change will point that to the ip 54.85.117.227 which
as I understand it, is an ip pointing to the new DD replacement
server, and that specific ip should remain static.
