Just generated a new xmltv.exe http://alpha-exe.xmltv.org  and tv_tmdb 
seems to work fine!

One suggestion is to add a link to https://www.themoviedb.org in the 
output message saying you need an API key.  Maybe put the URL a little 
more predominately in the POD docs too.. I needed to read a bit to get it.
