Yes, that host file redirect will work with mythfilldatabase...and the
last thing you want to do is to use the new grabber, as per the the
"Notice to Schedules Direct users" here:

https://www.mythtv.org/

I'm confused by the reply from Bill Meek.

Bill...am I misunderstanding the question?  Why wouldn't that work?
Until I patched by 0.27.3 to use dd.schedulesdirect.org, that hosts
file change was exactly what I was using and it worked fine.
