I just added tv_grab_sd_json to CVS and the alpha-exe!

It seems to work fine on US and UK listings.  Many other countries are 
supported ( http://www.schedulesdirect.org/regions )

I removed the "File::HomeDir::my_home" requirement and configured it to 
use XMLTV::Config_file module to generate the tv_grab_sd_json.cache 
file.   Question for the group..  is this how other working file 
locations are assigned?  Seemed reasonable to me. (That file is a data 
cache, the grabber only downloads items that have changed)

I'm not sure I like the ** GET/POST messages.  part of me thinks it 
should be in a debug mode only.   I understand it's not there in quiet 
mode and simply uses the progress from UserAgent... we'll see what 
others think.. I just may not be used to it.  It certainly would be 
helpful in troubleshooting.

I wonder if there should be additional line breaks before input 
prompts.  Again, this could me just not used to it and curious what 
others think.

Of course,  those things are all cosmetic, great job Kevin!

If anyone needs a SD account to test with,  there's a free 7 day trial 
at SD ( no billing info asked for)
