Have you tried running mythfilldatabase manually?
If it is configured correctly just running it as your mythtv user
should work.
Else you can run tv_grab_nl or better tv_grab_nl3.py creating an xmltv
output file and then importing it with mythfilldatabase.
This is the script I employ with two different configuration files.
One for all channels for the full 14 days and one only for important
channels to check up on changes for the current evening at the end of
the afternoon.

#!/bin/bash
declare Speed=${1:-"fast"}
declare SourceID=8
if [ "$Speed" == "fast" ]; then
        declare tmpfile="/tmp/out3-fast.xml"
        declare config="${HOME}/.xmltv/config3_fast.conf"

elif [ "$Speed" == "slow" ]; then
        declare tmpfile="/tmp/out3-slow.xml"
        declare config="${HOME}/.xmltv/config3_slow.conf"

else
        exit

fi

/usr/bin/tv_grab_nl3.py --config-file ${config} --output ${tmpfile}

if [ $? == 0 ]; then
        /usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --syslog local5 --file --xmlfile ${tmpfile} --sourceid ${SourceID}
fi
