Hi, Mike. Now that 0.15 has been released, you should download
it from:

http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

The directions at:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html#MigratingtoDD

are actually for version 0.15. Amongst the many advantages of this
release, there is now internal support for DataDirect. This will
give you more complete show information, more precise duplicate
episode information for more accurate scheduling and no longer any
need for XMLTV software.

Once you've installed 0.15, you can run the setup program and under
"Video Source" choose "North America (DataDirect)" as your listings
grabber. Enter your DataDirect User ID and Password then "Retrieve
Lineups". And, that's it. "mythfilldatabase" will grab the DataDirect
listings for you.

Hope this helps,
