Yep, this bit works perfectly...

Ah but it doesn't.

mythtv@hel:~$ tv_grab_nz --output temp.xml --days=3D1
Using config file: /home/mythtv/.xmltv/tv_grab_nz
Downloading listings: #####
Building output:

mythtv@hel:~$ mythfilldatabase --file=3Dtemp.xml
Grabbing XMLTV data using tv_grab_nz is not verified as working.

And if I adjust /etc/mythtv/settings.txt like so:

# XMLTV grabber to use
str XMLTVGrab=3Dtv_grab_na # so it doesn't barf on tv_grab_nz

I get:

mythtv@hel:~$ mythfilldatabase --file temp.xml
----------------- Start of XMLTV output -----------------
/usr/bin/tv_grab_na: /home/mythtv/.mythtv/TV.xmltv:1: unsupported
version header
/usr/bin/tv_grab_na: Failed to read /home/mythtv/.mythtv/TV.xmltv
------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------

OK...so...

1.  Why does it provide a --file option if it still cares what XMLTVGrab
is set to?

2.  When I give it the name of the file to read, why does it look for
$HOME/.mythtv/TV.xmltv?

3.  Am I doing something wrong/stupid?  That's the usual explanation! ;)
