        You could do this by using XMLTV tv_grab_na_dd and
"mythfilldatabase --file", which is what people still using mythtv
0.14 have been doing (see the archives).  However, for what you're
proposing (redistribution), your subscription agreement requires that
you get prior written consent from Tribune Media Services.
