New description:

 1) mythtv-setup calls 'tv_find_grabbers baseline manualconfig'. If a
 grabber doesn't support manualconfig, it will not be listed. I suspect
 that manualconfig should not be a requirement, and should just be used to
 decide whether to put up the "Configuration will run in the terminal
 window" message.

 2) Bad verbose message:
