Lots of apps use previously_shown I know I use it to help decide if an 
episode is new. ("new" is only the first showing, I may want to record a 
later transmission of the show)

As it seems Gracenote doesn't output a time on previously shown (which 
also makes sense), The grabber should not decide to add one (or a 
timezone).  I've applied your patch.  That's the way I did it in 
tv_grab_na_sd too.

(Kevin, lots of folks are starting to use your grabber... will you be 
able to take over support?)
