If you can download the data file with wget, you may be able to use the old-school tv_grab_na_dd method and run mythfilldatabase with the downloaded file using the --file option. Assuming, of course, that functionality hasn't been removed. 

You'll have to look at the help output or search this list or the wiki for the syntax: IIRC, you have to specify the sourceid and something else as well as the file name.  You may have to do multiple runs if you have multiple lineups. It's been a few years and I'm doing this from memory.

You can do it all manually or put it all as one line in cron.daily with the individual steps separated by '&&'.

If it works, it will keep you up and running until a solution is found.
