Again: https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3480&start=15#p19508

That's what a working XMLTV configuration looks like for the SQLite version.
[There are only 3 lines in the .xmltv file]

I can't tell if any other steps using tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite were not
successful/completed. There may be other missing parts to this puzzle.

I could be that removing the xxx.xmltv and SchedulesDirect.DB files in the link
above and starting over is the best solution. tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite is run 4
times to complete setup, if memory serves.
