Manually entering the video number does just what you expect it to.  It 
will populate the metadata for the specific ID you have given it.  
However, the number you give it is dependent on what version of MythTV 
you are running.  If you are running trunk, giving it the TMDB number of 
'1668' will work just fine.  If you are running 0.22, it is still set up 
to use the old IMDB numbers, even though it uses the TMDB grabber.  You 
would need to give it '88263'.  Trying to give it '1668' would result in 
nothing happening, as there is no entry for that IMDB movie on TMDB.
