MythNetvision currently doesn't have a dev to look after it so it's 
development has all but stopped. It just needs someone to look at the 
grabber scripts (which I believe are all python scripts) and update them 
so they work with any API or website changes the various sources are now 
using.

If no one steps forward it's highly likely it will be dropped before 
0.28 is released.
