As you mention DVB, I'm assuming you're not in North America (if you are 
and mean ATSC DVB, the following won't really help).  If so, you simply 
need to install XMLTV on the other PC and use it to download the 
listings to a file.  Then, you can use mythfilldatabase with the 
"--file" option to import the data from that file.  See 
"mythfilldatabase --help".

In North America, it's a bit more complex.  You can use "--dd-file", but 
you lose a lot of "good stuff" by doing that.
