OK, but your "if" does not hold in general. It does not hold for me, for
example, because I need to use multiple grabbers and data sources for
each video source I have (and I don't like the complexity of
tv_grab_combiner).

So I run my multiple tv_grab_whatevers in parallel, then feed the
results to mythfilldatabase --file for each relevant --sourceid.

I would therefore like grabbers to actually implement the XMLTV spec and
grab all available data without having to specify the --days explicitly.
This is a bug.

Thanks for the replies and most importantly instructions , I will give the
Atlas grabber a go. Its nice to have a few different options :)
