It is, there's a grabber for tvtoday grabber included. I did test it
once, but didn't bother to switch all my setup.

None that I know off. But said, I didn't really use it. But
mythfilldatabase did work.

Hmm, If I had NxtvEPG (I don't, I have a PVR350 and didn't get it up)
I'd stick with that. It's a supported service which is used as intended.
You don't produce additional traffic on a website and don't have to fear
for the service going offline or encode their listings due to bandwidth
or copyright problems as was the case with tvmovie.
