DESCRIPTION
Output TV listings for DSTV channels available in South Africa. The data comes from www.dstv.com. The grabber relies on parsing HTML so it might stop working at any time.
First run tv_grab_za --configure to choose, which channels you want to download. Then running tv_grab_za with no arguments will output listings in XML format to standard output.
--configure Prompt for which channels, and write the configuration file.
--config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_za.conf. This is the file written by --configure and read when grabbing.
--gui OPTION Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used. OPTION may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice. Additional allowed values of OPTION are 'Term' for normal terminal output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of XMLTV::ProgressBar.
--output FILE write to FILE rather than standard output.
--days N grab N days. Can be 1, 7, 14 or 30. Default is 14
--quiet suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.
--opentime Discard all M-Net programs outside of opentime
--opentime-combined Generate both Opentime and normal M-Net programs
