<div>I'm guessing you have a non-myth way to get good
schedule data for this one channel and want it to work
naturally with mythtv. If so it looks like it's not safe
to mix your schedule data with that pulled in my
mythfilldatabase. That's assuming your data is coming
from Schedules Direct which, for most people in North
America, is the case.</div>

<br>
Presumably they're going off an ad about a new show airing a
month or two out, beyond the two weeks Schedules Direct
offers.<br>

<div>It's actually a schedule of local hockey & basketball
games up through March. New info- it turns out that EIT data is
actually transmitted for the channel! 'Perform EIT Scan' is
ticked in mythbackend, and I also have 'useonairguide' flagged
for the specific channel. Does this mean Myth should be pulling
the data into MYSQL or is this not how it works? <br>
</div>

<br>
If you have EIT enabled on those channels, MythTV will pull in
whatever data is provided by the broadcaster and inserted into the
database. If need be, it will overwrite whatever show already
exists at that point in the stored guide data. If you are using
both XMLTV and EIT data on the same channel, you will end up with
all sorts of weird scheduling anomalies, and non-functional
duplicate matching.<br>
<br>
In North America, EIT data usually gets you a few hours. Some lucky
people with gracious broadcasters may give you a day or two. You
will certainly not be getting events two months out through that
interface.<br>
