I'm sending this to the mythtv-users mailing list, which will be easier 
for back and forth than the bug database.  If you're not subscribed, 
please subscribe at 
http://lists.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users or at least reply 
all so the reply goes directly to me, too--it won't be completely lost.  
Thanks.

This sounds like mythfilldatabase is using old, cached data.  In theory, 
this will only happen if you run mythfilldatabase a lot of times in a 
short time period (as you might do when trying to diagnose a failure).  
Can you do:

sudo rm -rf /tmp/myth*

and then re-run mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all , again, and let us know 
if it fixes all the occurrences to show what Schedules Direct shows.

Thanks,
Mike
