I converted to the json feed a few years ago. My mythweb says 
"DataDirect Status: Your subscription expires on Sun Sep 10 2017 9:06 
AM", but it is still running fine and the actual expiration date is 
shown in the mythfilldatabase log "Schedules Direct account expires on 
2021-09-10T09:06:15"

So no need to worry.
