At the time where I had to take a break from MythTV, I was under the
impression that tvdb access was being phased out due to their switch
to a pay model. When I recently installed 32, I noticed there's still
a grabber, which is good, as tvmaze and themoviedb still miss a lot of
series info, especially for smaller shows like cooking shows on PBS.

So is the phase out still happening at some point? Did tvdb reconsider?
