It always fills tomorrow so the info is always refreshed before the
day for recording arrives.
Yeah, I know. But this does lead to problems like I experienced recently, when I heard about a show later in the week and wanted to schedule it for recording.

With current svn, "mythfilldatabase --max-days 11" would prevent
grabbing the last days where some channels may be missing data
in the evening.

How do other people deal with this? Or is this something specific to my listings area (Vancouver, Canada)?
Perhaps the best way for me is just to write a script to clear the credits, people, program, programgenres, and programrating tables, and then run mythfilldatabase to reload them.
Thanks for your help!
