At this point I think we all can assume it's the server issue, but to 
confirm a different way I did a fresh install of Raspbian buster on a 
RPi4 and went thru my normal setup but when I got to following the 
Mythtv XMLTV wiki install instructions it fails on the first step 
(below) with a can't authenticate server offline message

tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --manage-lineups --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/SD.xmltv
