"NOTE: mythfilldatabase might take a while to complete, depending on 
any number of factors, most of which you can't control. It's best to 
just let the program run to completion."

"In order to keep your database filled, mythfilldatabase should be 
run once a day.
To use MythTV's built-in capability, you'll need to run the 
mythfrontend Setup option. From the mythfrontend, enter the 
Setup>General screen and advance to "Mythfilldatabase", the fourth 
screen. Select the checkbox, then complete the options as you see 
fit. The mythbackend program will now run mythfilldatabase for you."
