Yes, but a change to what's showing in 8 days can affect scheduling
today.  Let assume for example that a show I want to record today (the
only showing of it) "foo" is being conflicted by a show "bar".  The myth
scheduler decides to record "bar" due to the scores of the two shows.

However yesterday, zap2it added to the schedule that in 8 days a
duplicate showing of "bar" will occur.  Now I lost the opportunity to
record "foo" and postpone "bar" for the next showing which would have
happened if I had fetched the entire zap2it schedule again.
