If all you want is to see the listings, then, yeah, MythWeb's Program 
Listings or mythfrontends Manage Recordings|Schedule Recordings|Program 
Guide will show you listings from up to 10 days ago.

I'm thinking, though, he wants to see what a mythbackend --printsched 
would have shown "yesterday" to try to collect more information for a 
bug report he's filed.

Oh, and Brian, if you do change the time on the backend system, you'll 
likely also need to delete all the recordings--and recording 
history--after whatever NOW() you set it to so that you get a truer 
picture of what it would have said.  You can do a DB backup ( 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Database_Backup_and_Restore ), and when 
you're done collecting information, just restore that database backup (

).
