If using tv_grab_na_dd to pull data for use in MythTV, you need to use 
--dd-data to get the raw data,

and then you need to use --dd-file instead of --file to read it in; 
otherwise, you're not getting all of the data you'll need.

but if you use XMLTV data and --file, you should use the long 
(not-just-5-digit) XMLTV ID.
