I have noticed the "Actual Data" message always shows 14 days, but there
is really only 12 or 13 days downloaded. The result is mythtv deletes
previous data for 14 days but only loads 12 or 13 days worth. This can
cause some confusing results with gaps in the data on your database.
However it does not really cause any other problems.
