DESCRIPTION

Output TV listings for several channels available in Argentina. Now supports terrestrial analog TV listings, which is the most common TV viewed in Argentina.

The TV listings come from http://www.buscadorcablevision.com.ar/ The grabber relies on parsing HTML so it might stop working at any time.

First run tv_grab_ar --configure to choose, which channels you want to download. Then running tv_grab_ar 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_ar.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. The default is 3.

--offset N Start N days in the future. The default is to start from today.

--zone N Specify a different location ID than that specified in the configuration file.

--quiet Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.

--capabilities Show which capabilities the grabber supports. For more information, see <http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities>

--version Show the version of the grabber.

--help Print a help message and exit.
