Isn't that what I did with this?

To allow MythTV to sleep, mythfilldatabase must be working.
need to install
xmltv
xmltv-util
need to run:
sudo runuser -l mythtv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/North.xmltv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/NorthWest.xmltv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/NorthWest\ ATSC3.xmltv
tv_grab_zz_sdjson --configure --config-file $HOME/.mythtv/South.xmltv
exit
