All tv_grab_de does is download those exact same xml files.

His patch reads in another file and prepends it to the xml downloaded by 
tv_grab_de..  He didn't include the other file it reads, is all =)

The main issues with the tv_grab_de data are:

- tv_grab_de's data contains no <channel> entries in the xml.
- tv_grab_de's data's timestamp format is different than all the other xmltv 
grabbers.  It uses YYYYMMDDhhmm instead of YYYYMMDDhhmmss.  
Mysql interprets the 12 digit timestamp as YYMMDDhhmmss, messing stuff up.

Both problems _could_ be worked around in mythfilldatabase, though his patch 
pretty much fixes things in the xmltv grabber, if you have the external file 
that contains all the <channel> entries and stuff.
