Thanks!  This method would still need to be updated every time the 
schema changes, but it's better than patching sources.

Using a script to call mfdb has some other interesting 
applications, too.  For example, there was someone on here a few 
days ago who wanted to use two different Zap2It lineups for one 
capture card.  Using this method they could probably have mfdb 
download a second listing and then run an SQL update statement to 
merge the two listings to the same tuner....
