Re: [misterhouse-users] Get TV Grid Question

[David N. <jud...@ad...>]

$down is a number representing the day of the week for the grid being
processed and is assigned in  fetchLoop.  The logic in make_index looks
screwy to me because you will get different results for tomorrow's grid if
you get it today then if you get it tomorrow.  Also, indices for Saturdays
(day 6) go back further than those for Sundays (day 0).

This could be fixed by passing days_from_now the epoch time of the grid date
(use timelocal to calculate) instead of the current time.

Got it?  :)
