Unfortunately, it varies from one grabber to another, so you need
someone who has used the specific grabber to tell you how to configure
it.  To start the configuration process for a grabber, run
mythtv-setup and go to Video sources.  Select the source you want to
configure the grabber for and use the right arrow to get the submenu.
Select Listings grabber and hit Enter to get the list of available
grabbers.  Select the correct one and hit Enter, then use the right
arrow to bring up the submenu for that grabber.  Select Configure and
hit Enter.  After that, whatever happens is from code in the grabber
script when the grabber is told to configure itself.
