Should be pretty easy.  First, play with fuser to figure out which of
        it's incantations will detect when the digital v4l (/dev/video0)
is
        being used.  (Maybe a safer method would be to check when the
analog v4l
        IS NOT being used.)  
        
        Then run mythfilldatabase.  (I'd probably use ps -ax |grep
mythfill when
        mythfilldatabase is running successfully.. but I think it
doesn't need
        many, if any options to run.)
        
        /etc/cron.daily/mythfilldatabase (or /etc/cron.weekly)
        
        #!/bin/sh
        /etc/cron.daily/mythfilldatabase
        if [ fuser incantation ]; then
           mythfilldatabase incantation (specifying digital v4l device)
        fi
