Crap.  I could have sworn that I patched Myth from CVS.  Guess I did it
and then forgot about it.  Check the Myth-Dev list for:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/archive/MythTV_C2/Dev_F10/[PATCH]_DataDirect_service_--_updated_to_match_CVS_xmltv_tv_grab_na_dd_P116681/

which contains the patch.  Not sure if you can still apply without problems 
since
there have been some updates since it was posted.  Easiest approach is to 
just
manually apply the filldata.o patches and then manually set tv_grab_na_dd as
your grabber by doing an update in MySQL.  Before grabbing listings you'll 
have
to manually do a "tv_grab_na_dd --configure" and replace your Myth XMLTV
config file with the config file generated from tv_grab_na_dd (IIRC the 
table is
videosources).  That should be all you have to do to get the new grabber
running in Myth (at least it works for me).

Sorry about the confusion.
