Instead, you should set up the source to use "No grabber." 

If you're using SVN head, you can select the option "No grabber" for the 
video source's grabber in the mythtv-setup UI.  Unfortunately, though, 
due to an oversight, doing this is not possible for 0.19 or 0.19-fixes.  
Instead, for them, you'll have to execute:

mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg \
      -e "UPDATE videosource
             SET xmltvgrabber ='/bin/true',
                 useeit = 0
           WHERE sourceid = <your source id>;"
