Tried running tv_grab_zz_sdjson manually, it failed, as did a manual run 
of mythfilldatabase (error code 255)

mythtv at myth-server-1:~/.xmltv$ less Freeview.xmltv
mythtv at myth-server-1:~/.xmltv$ tv_grab_zz_sdjson --config-file 
Freeview.xmltv --output freeview.xml --days 1
Initializing...

** GET https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/status ==> 200 OK
Invalid status response.


There are two reports about failure after restore completed time on SD 
forum https://forums.schedulesdirect.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3057
