When running the uk_rt grabber, I specify full paths to the data and
config files in my script which I call from my crontab so that I can
easily change them if I need to e.g.:

perl /usr/bin/tv_grab_uk_rt --config-file
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/dvb.xmltv --output /home/mythtv/.mythtv/dvb.xml
--quiet
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --file 1 -1 /home/mythtv/.mythtv/dvb.xml
