I suspect this has to do with Schedules Direct new ability to detect
overruns of sporting events.  Whatever the source of the new guide
data, I think the preferred solution is to either feed an xmltv file
to mythfilldatabase and/or add service APIs to update the guide data
and automatically reschedule rather than updating the database
directly (probably what is being done) and then issuing a reschedule.
