You need to get hold of a "grabber" for Denmark. Typically it would be
called something like tv_grab_dk. I just had a quick look and there is
one in /usr/bin on my FC3/ATRPMs installation so you're probably in
luck.

1) So now you run that, create a config file and get it all working so
it downloads the TV guide in XMLTV format.

2) Then run mythfilldatabase with a command like this to load into the database:
$ mythfilldatabase --file 1 7 /home/mythtv/.xmltv/yourxmlistings.xml

Obviously replace "yourxmlistings.xml" with the appropriate file name.

You can set the grabber and mythfilldatabase commands to run once a
day in a cron job.
