This can happen for many reasons, including not having the dependencies 
for the grabber scripts (such as python-lxml or ...). Try running the 
scripts (such as ttvdb.py) by themselves, something like:

/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py --version
/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/tmdb3.py --version

(adjust path as appropriate).
