Schedules Direct does not use any bandwidth on guide data at current, as 
you are downloading it directly from Tribune's DataDirect servers. 
Additionally, they are more concerned about the server load from running 
multiple single-day queries than they are the bandwidth of pulling seven 
times the data. They actually prefer everything be pulled in one shot.
