force mythfilldatabase to update existing guide data?

Hello,

I have noticed that some of my guide data is wrong. The web interface of zap2it.com is correct but my Myth guide data is wrong. Running mythfilldatabase manually gives the following

Channels updated.. Updating programs...
Data is already present for Mon Nov 15 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Wed Nov 17 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Thu Nov 18 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Fri Nov 19 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Sat Nov 20 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Sun Nov 21 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Mon Nov 22 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Tue Nov 23 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Wed Nov 24 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Thu Nov 25 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Fri Nov 26 2004, skipping
Data is already present for Sat Nov 27 2004, skipping
Fetching data for Sun Nov 28 2004

(other stuff edited)

The problem is that some of the data for Thu Nov 18 is wrong. Specifically the time for the show "Long Way Round" on Bravo, Myth thinks it's on at 10pm it's actually on at 8pm. I think that if I could just have mythfilldatabase update the existing data it would fix the guide.

I haven't found any documentation for mythfilldatabase other than --help which doesn't indicate anything that could force an update. Except maybe:

--graboptions <"options">
Pass options to grabber

but what are the options???

Does anyone know how to make mythfilldatabase update existing guide data?

- Paulo

misc info
----------
- I am using DataDirect from zap2it
- running mythtv-backend-0.16-81.rhfc1.at from ATrpms

Note that Nov 16 isn't included above...

It always updates the data for 'tomorrow' and adds any new days
at the end. The data for the 18th will be updated the first time
mythfilldatabase is run on the 17th. This way the data is fresh
by the time it records but it doesn't need to grab all days
every day.

$ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg
mysql> delete from program;
mysql> quit
$ mythfilldatabase
