I added a cron job to run at 5pm every night to execute "/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --refresh-today" to make sure I have accurate guide data before primetime shows air.<br>

That's no more effective (and more load on both your system and TMS's) than running mythfilldatabase --dd-grab-all as your normal daily refresh command. As a matter of fact, if using --dd-grab-all, you likely wouldn't even need to run at a specific time. The problem with the default configuration for Schedules Direct is that you only get updates for tomorrow and +13, so any changes to the schedule or updates aren't seen until "last minute" and any changes to today aren't seen at all. Using --dd-grab-all fixes this. The only reason it's not the default is because too many people use severely underpowered (and/or misconfigured) systems that can't handle --dd-grab-all, so we've configured it so it will work, by default, but rely on you users to figure out how to configure it for best results.<br>

Is it better to let SD manage my daily grab-all task to run off peak, and just refresh "today" everyday at 5pm, or force the grab-all to occur every day at 5pm. The daily refresh is small compared to a full 14 day download, so I would think that they would prefer the large download occurs off peak.</div>
