Having completed the back end initial setup and in doing set "No Grabber" etc for shepherd.
Shepherd ran and filled shepherd output.xmltv with 7.3 MB of data that looked like the real deal.
After a rebooted I ran mythfilldatabase and it terminated without pulling in data.
The following is a copy of the terminal run:
