For some bizarre reason, the configuration of Mythfilldatabase takes place in 
the front-end setup, even though the program is only of interest to the master 
backend. Some distros do set up a cron job to handle it, but it's probably 
better to let the system decide for itself when to run the job - in my case 
around 0630 every morning currently.

I can't remember exactly where it is - probably towards the end of the "general" 
menu option, after you have filled in the IP addresses etc.
