[my version of what just was posted by Gary and Mike]

The command run by mfdb is similar to this:

  tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite --config-file '/home/mythtv/.mythtv/RCN.xmltv' --output /tmp/mythriraJv

The output is in /tmp and gets removed by mfdb. If you just run the grabber,
the output file will be left and can be examined.
