You need to support the XLMTV capabilities option. If you show allatonce when 
called with --preferredmethod then mythfilldatabase will only call the 
grabber once and use as much data is as given.

Unfortunately mythfilldatabase still calls the grabber once for each input 
that is configured. I did implement the cache option which is in the XMLTV 
specs but it doesn't appear that myth (or any of the other XMLTV grabbers) 
support it :) I've thought about doing some internal caching to get around 
this but it hasn't been high on my priority list lately.
