Basics are: use tv_grab_na_dd (from XMLTV) to download the raw-format
data and use mythfilldatabase with the appropriate command-line option
to import DataDirect/SD format data and the appropriate command-line
option to specify the appropriate video source. See each command's
--help output.

Have fun fishing.  (I don't feel like looking it all up for you, but
that should get you going.)
