Gary,

I am a curios about the desire of the developers to only support xmltv
grabbers.  I see that there is an xmltv grabber for data direct the RobertE
has been supporting (and it looks like it already has the change of the
server address).  Do the developers prefer that users use the tv_grab_na_dd
xmltv grabber?  I've not tried to set that one up, but it sounded like the
data direct part of mythfilldatabase is currently un-maintained.
