If we want to use two letter codes for everything, then I suggest to
just use codes from the musicbrainz list. They generally have very
well thought out guidelines on metadata. But then we should also rename
violation of that rule, maybe keeping aliases for three releases.

https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Release_Country
XE 	Europe 	for European releases where specific country unknown
XU 	[Unknown Country] 	
XW 	[Worldwide] 	

making for tv_grab_xw_sdjson_one and tv_grab_xw_sdjson_other
I prefer a real word global/worldwide/multi. Or even better just
leaving it away to make tv_grab_sdjson_kevin and tv_grab_sdjson_gary

Lets call the grabbers tv_grab_sdjson_<suffix>

Karl
