No, it wouldn't.  Just have to bypass the call to wget, like the rest of the 
code bypasses calling an xmltv grabber when the --file option is specified.  
Simple stuff, almost anyone should be able to make that change.

Additionally, by using the xmltv dd grabber, you're not getting all the data 
that's present in the dd xml information.
