Yes, the code actually expected Schedules Direct to
meet the API specifications they offered.  My bad.
I pushed a fix to tolerate the invalid data (the grabber
should not crash) until Schedules Direct decides
how to proceed with correcting their data or versioning
the API.

For any reasonably large lineup, all the real time
is spent in mythfilldatabase processing, so the
download times are not really relevant.  However
the data quality of ...sqlite version tends to be
better because it merges the generic show data
(and last I checked, the other grabber does not).

Of course, your mileage will vary.
