Thanks for this tip!   Yeah, that's not something that I picked up from 
the wiki.  But after running tv_grab_zz_sdjson as the user "mythtv", the 
experience was much more intuitive.  And the schedules are rolling in as 
I type this!

My first false start was that I had the wrong case sensitivity for the 
video source name, but I got that figured out pretty quickly.


Thanks again!
