i) configure the SSF channel in the MythTV database with the correct
XMLTV ID from the _ch_search grabber
ii) configure the _ch_search for the SSF channel
iii) run the _ch_search grabber to create listings for the SSF channel
and use mythfilldatabase to import the listings for that single
channel into the MythTV database.

If you are running both grabbers manually (you do not say how you are
running the _eu_epgdata grabber) you can combine the data from both
grabbers into a single XMLTV file before importing the listings with
mythfilldatabase.

Cheers,
Nick
