[mythtv-users] Correct way to use a downloaded XMLTV file?

Hi all,

There is a listings service for Australians at freepg.tv which
provides a unique URL per user to download a prepared XMLTV file for
their region.

What is the correct way to use such a file with MythTV? The naive way
would be to set up a cron job to download the file and invoke
mythfilldatabase --file , but I get the impression that might be
frowned upon compared to configuring a grabber.

Is there a skeleton "download" XMLTV grabber designed for this use case?

Best Regards,
Chris
