Same problem here,

I am running Mythdora 4 and mythfilldatabase 'on automatic' does not work.
For user mythtv I created a crontab with the approriate commands:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[mythtv at amd64backend ~]$ cat mythcron

# crontab for user mythtv
30 4 * * * sleep $(expr $RANDOM \% 14400) && /home/mythtv/mygrab

[mythtv at amd64backend ~]$ cat mygrab
#!/bin/sh
#
GRABBER=/usr/bin/tv_grab_nl_py
OUTPUT=/home/mythtv/xmltvdata
DAYS=7

logger "Starting $GRABBER"
$GRABBER --compat --logos --days $DAYS --output $OUTPUT
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --update --file 1 0 $OUTPUT
mv -f $OUTPUT $OUTPUT.old
logger "Grabbing ended."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see I use the tv_grab_nl_py as it has much more useful data 
than tv_grab_nl
