[mythtv-users] Anyone else have guide data problems? (SchedulesDirect only)

[Josh White]

I had a problem where I tried to record the Macgyver episode of Mythbusters,
and I got "How it's made" instead.  I didn't do any investigation to
determine if the lineup changed, or if it was a database error or what.
This happened last week some time.
