mythtv), it created the files ~/.mythtv/DVB.xmltv and
~/.mythtv/S-Video.xmltv which I have copied to the correct $HOME.

This is what I'm seeing in the backend log file when mythfilldatabase runs:

What would help is being able to instrument the call to the grabber to see
exactly what it is missing (I only have one copy of it in /usr/local/bin

got -v xmltv enabled at present, that provides nothing useful. Also, to be
able to force the backend to run mythfilldatabase on demand so I can debug
it more than once a night!
