Another thing you will run into with ppv.pl is that you have to remove the
ppv entries from the database before attempting to import additional xmltv
data. My update script is as follows (fill in your own path as required) :

ppv.pl 1
mythfilldatabase
ppv.pl 1
ppv.pl 2

If you dont do this, you will appear to be importing data but
mythfilldatabase will think it already has data for all 9 days and will not
actually import anything.
