<div>you can do it from a cron job or the backend can run it when it needs to. The later being a better way of running it because it works around you recordings. </div>

<p><img src="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/warning.png"> <table><caption><td><b>NOTE</b>: <b>mythfilldatabase</b> might take a while to complete, depending on any number of factors, most of which you can't control. It's best to just let the program run to completion.
</td></caption> <td><b>mythfilldatabase --help</b> will give a full listing of the options available. </td></table></p>
<p><b>mythfilldatabase --manual</b> is another option; the manual option will allow you to fine tune channel frequencies and specify which channels will be added to the database. </p>
<p><b>mythfilldatabase --file</b> is an option if there isn't an XMLTV grabber for your country, but you <b>do</b> have an XML formatted listings file created by some other program.</p>
<p><b>mythfilldatabase --xawchannels</b> is an option if you have used <b>xawtv</b> to fine-tune your channels and would like to import the fine tuning offsets into MythTV.</p>
<p><b>mythfilldatabase --refresh-today</b> will only pull guide data for today (in case of late-breaking changes to the schedule).</p>
<h3>Periodically running <b>mythfilldatabase</b></h3>
<p>In order to keep your database filled, <b>mythfilldatabase</b> should be run once a day.</p>
<p><strong>To use MythTV's built-in capability, you'll need to run the mythfrontend Setup option. From the mythfrontend, enter the Setup>General screen and advance to "Mythfilldatabase", the fourth screen. Select the checkbox, then complete the options as you see fit. The mythbackend program will now run mythfilldatabase for you.
