tv_grab_za [--config-file \s-1FILE\s0] [--output \s-1FILE\s0] [--days N] [--quiet] [--retries N]

Output \s-1TV\s0 listings for \s-1DSTV\s0 channels available in South Africa. The data comes from www.dstv.com. The grabber relies on parsing \s-1HTML\s0 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 \s-1XML\s0 format to standard output.

--configure Prompt for which channels, and write the configuration file.

--config-file \s-1FILE\s0 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 \s-1OPTION\s0 Use this option to enable a graphical interface to be used. \s-1OPTION\s0 may be 'Tk', or left blank for the best available choice. Additional allowed values of \s-1OPTION\s0 are 'Term' for normal terminal output (default) and 'TermNoProgressBar' to disable the use of XMLTV::ProgressBar.

--output \s-1FILE\s0 write to \s-1FILE\s0 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.

--retries number of retries before failing channel download.

--help print a help message and exit.
