Does it fail to import because the lineup is different in mythtv than on 
zap2it?  if so, the obvious answer is find a way to change your 
lineup.   You can't get online even through a free AOL account or dialup 
of some kind?  I assume that the lineup configuration is in the DB 
somewhere and could be changed manually.  Otherwise, an unusual, but 
possible solution, might be to run knoppmyth somewhere portable that you 
could get into work with, configure the backend there, note the settings 
for the lineup, and modify your copy.
