I also have the 'problem' of "mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert
any new data into the Guide" daily.
I do have a cron job set.
Where can I check to see if mythbackend is also running an update ?
Under video sources should I be setting "No Grabber" for the "XMLTV
Listings Grabber" if I also have a cron job ?
