I know that I don't get season or episode info, also if I get a
subtitle it is often wrong. Like NCIS with subtitle Los Angles.
I guess this might be the reason there is no programid.

I also know that last summer when I started with mythtv the old Dutch
grabber didn't work anymore, but after a lot of searching I found
another new one: https://code.google.com/p/tvgrabnlpy/
If I run mythfilldatabase it complains that this grabber is not
supported.
I have to update it to the latest version to see if anything changed.

Also the Dutch tv-guide market is quite complicated with a dozen
players or more. By law guide info may not be presented for more then
four days in the future, except for by these players. This originally
to protect all the players selling their own paper guide. Else they
wouldn't share their info.

It's a thing I have in the back of my mind to look in deeper sometime.
One problem is I don't know python.
