That's a very good question. While I can't give definitive answers for _uk_rt
I've been looking into that topic for other grabbers.

What is the originalairdate? Is it the date of the first airing ever (likely in the
country of origin) or the first time the programme was on any channel in your
country? Or is it the first showing in the current run?
The same for previouslyshown, what does it mean? Previouslyshown is true
when the starttime is not on originalairdate?

airdate=thisyear is just MythTV's default when nothing is provided.

MythTVs data model works best with TMS data in north america, the same is
true for tvdb and tmdb so you can't really get additional data by mixing them
in.

Karl
