ITYM tv_grab_zz_sdjson, at least that is what I have.

Can't you just switch your config to use tv_grab_zz_sdjson instead?
That's what I did (ages ago, since the name started to be used a few
releases back, it's just the compat link to the old name is now
removed) and it works for me. 0.5.69 should have the compat link.

I might be wrong but I don't see any references to any specific
tv_grab_* in the mythtv source, so I don't think there would be
anything to update on the myth side.
