If you intend to distribute this grabber then your best course would be to 
create an XMLTV grabber adhering to the xmltv specification. 
http://xmltv.org/wiki/howtowriteagrabber.html

This means it supports the baseline and manualconfig capabilities. It will 
then be detected when you run mythtv-setup and will be run automatically run 
daily, with the correct options by mythbackend (using mythfilldatabase).
