This is not working for me with 0.28.  I go to mythfrontend -> setup -> 
Artwork and Data Source -> Television, but there is only one choice 
there (TheTVDB.com).  This is the name when using the previous tvdb.py 
script.  Is it also the correct name for the new tvdb3tv.py script?  And 
why do I not see tvmaze as a choice? I tried restarting the backend and 
frontend, but makes no difference.
