Yeah, I know. But this does lead to problems like I experienced
recently, when I heard about a show later in the week and wanted to
schedule it for recording. A search for the show name surprisingly came
up with nothing (as that channel had No Data later in the week) and so
I couldn't schedule it to be recorded. Having to wait until the day
before a show airs to schedule a recording seems to defeat the purpose
of having a scheduler.<br>

I run 0.18.1, but this seems to suggest that mythfilldatabase would
only grab 11 days worth of data instead of 14, right? Not an ideal
situation, as I like having the data as far into the future as
possible, and also I'm not sure if even 11 would be short enough. I'd
rather delete the program listings and re-retrieve everything every day
than do this.<br>

How do other people deal with this? Or is this something specific to my listings area (Vancouver, Canada)?<br>
<br>
Perhaps the best way for me is just to write a script to clear the
credits, people, program, programgenres, and programrating tables, and
then run mythfilldatabase to reload them.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!<br>
