Get a copy of tv_grab_nl_pdb from
http://visualization.tudelft.nl/~paul/grabber/, and replace your
current tv_grab_nl with it. There are instructions for getting it
working on that page. You probably want to run it with the flag that
makes the output compatible with the default tv_grab_nl.

I changed over to this grabber the first time that tvgids.nl changed
their format after I'd started using mythtv. The author seems to make
updates very quickly when this happens. The script also seems to be
much faster than the original.

HTH,

Chris
