How often do cookies change?

Kinda new and just learned how this all works and how to use it.  Great program, thanks.  Currently running 1.57.0.0 on Win 7 x64.

 

The reason I ask about the cookies is because it seems that when I pull data from tv.com for the U.S. listings, sometimes it will grab the guide data and other times it will only populate with the channel info and no data. It will just go, iiiiiii  then on to the next channel

 

I'm only assuming it's cookie related, but I don't really know .  If it is cookie related, how often do they change? It doesn't make sense if you're running Windows Task Scheduler to auto run if the cookie is going to be out of date every couple of days or so.

While I'm thinking about it, if there's a situation where 1/3 of the channels don't pick up the guide data, is it possible to run Webgrab again only for those channels? My guide takes about 3hrs to finish, and i'd hate to have to do the whole thing over again if I'm only missing a few channels.  Would that be the <update>"i"<update> function?

Thanks for the response. I added the show-delay and set it at "5" and increased the time out to "20".  Did a quick test run and it didn't change. Is that because tv.com has a temp block on my ipt? I assume there's not much to do about that. Does anyone know how much or how often they allow people to pull down data?
