I think I might be onto something and you just confirmed it.  It looks like
the majority of episodes that I'm having issues with are double episodes,
so I think that might be the problem.

When I run the below command, it still doesn't find the episode....however,
to be fair, tvdb lists it as two episodes, but the query it's submitting is
only one.  Maybe if it returns two episodes from tvdb, it doesn't fill the
episode number in?

$ /usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -r -l en -a US -N 136941
"Ben & Holly's Christmas"

 Thanks for the response!
