I read the words (above) and they look like English, but they are 
gibberish to me.

How do I know which grabber my backend is using.  I think I'm using the 
DD grabber.  Here is a snippet from my mythfilldatabase.log file:

May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:583 (Run) Found 28 channels for source 5 which 
use grabber
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:180 (GrabDDData) This DataDirect listings 
source is shared by 6 MythTV lineups
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: N 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:184 (GrabDDData) We should use cached data for 
this one
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:248 (GrabDDData) Using existing grabbed data in 
temp tables.
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:254 (GrabDDData) Grab complete.  Actual data 
from 2021-05-20T18:57:49Z to 2021-06-06T18:57:49Z (UTC)
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:258 (GrabDDData) Main temp tables populated.
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:261 (GrabDDData) Updating MythTV channels.
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:263 (GrabDDData) Channels updated.
May 22 11:59:41 mythbox mythfilldatabase: mythfilldatabase[26387]: I 
CoreContext filldata.cpp:291 (GrabDDData) Clearing data for source.

My question is, do the Schedules Direct changes affect me?
