That ~ on the end of the file name normally means it is a backup copy
made by an old-style text editor.  You should rename the file to
tv_grab_nz-py and then fix the name in mythtv-setup to be the same.  I
have no idea how you came to be using the backup copy, but it is a
really bad idea to do that.  The best place for the file is
/usr/local/bin.  And check the permissions - backup copies made by a
text editor sometimes do not have execute permission.
