That's more or less what I do...
I have a PHP script that parses the stored datafiles of a (non-XMLTV) TV
grabber and generates XMLTV-formatted output. A cron job on my MythTV
machine downloads that file to disk, and another cron job (5 minutes later)
runs "mythfilldatabase --manual 1 -1 file.xml".

In your case, you could download the XML data to a floppy on a different
machine (perhaps twice a week), and then put it into the Myth box and import
the XML data with mythfilldatabase --manual.
