When I set my MythTV up, Arch was already using Python 2, which meant
the tv_grab_nz-py script wasn't detected in the backend setup.
Although it now is, I haven't ever got around to using it - besides it
seems more complicated than my method (the py script is certainly more
wordy!) and as both scripts source from the same EPG data, I went with
the easy, cron-able option :)
