[mythtv-users] Mythfilldatabase missing some data on some channels

Actually there are two 7-1 stations. The one I want is in red and the other
one, probably far away, is gray.  It disabling EIT doesn't work I will look
at this possibility more. So far all is good. I still have two weeks of
program data this morning.

Question, do I still need to do the --dd-grab-all option somewhere to be
sure of always having up to date data?
