Yes, tv_grab_nz-py is an XMLTV compliant grabber, the point of that is
so that mythtv-setup can find it automatically and mythbackend can run
mythfilldatabase automatically for you. You don't need to use the --file
option or anything like that.

I'm away at a conference so don't have time to write step by step
instructions but there have been some written on the list in the past.
