OK, but if that's the case, 0.20-fixes just got the support for using
tv_find_grabbers (which would allow using XMLTV grabbers without
compiled-in support for those grabbers) 2 weeks ago.  Since
tv_grab_na_sd didn't exist before the tv_find_grabbers support was added
(and, doesn't exist today--at least not "in the wild"), Myth 0.20-fixes
doesn't have compiled-in support for tv_grab_na_sd, so using that
grabber will required tv_find_grabbers support.

True--if you are running a version of Myth that has already been changed
to support it...  (I.e. one built from 0.20-fixes from within the last 2
weeks.)

And, in the case of the OP--who's still running 0.18.1--an update will
be necessary unless he "fakes" it as I previously described (or compiles
in support for a new grabber--but doing so rather than upgrading would
be crazy).
