If you want to create listings data in the correct format
automatically, you may want to check the XMLTV website
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmltv) and see how the grabbers
produce listings in XMLTV XML format. This should mean that you could
run mythfilldatabase manually on the file to import listings into
MythTV.

If you want to understand how MythTV imports the data into the
database, follow Joe's advice and look at the source code for
mythfilldatabase.
