As I understand it (please correct me if I am wrong), we can get it working in a fashion without a functioning grabber, just by using a perl script to fill in the schedules, and perhaps update them too. We want to see how it works first (just for some oohs and ahs :-)), and then we will roll up our sleeves and dig into code and write a grabber.
Right, you can just populate the channel and program tables with SQL without using a grabber and everything will mostly work. I recall getting some crashes in the EPG when I tried running with just a single channel - so make sure you set up more than one channel.
If you add new program data while the backend is running, you need to force the scheduler to look at the new data in order to reschedule recordings, but the easiest way to do that is just to restart the backend. (mythfilldatabase automatically runs the scheduler after loading the data)
