DESCRIPTION
Output TV and listings in XMLTV format from directv.com.
First you must run tv_grab_na_dtv--configure to choose which stations
you want to receive.
Then running tv_grab_na_dtv with no arguments will get listings for the
stations you chose for five days including today.
OPTIONS--configure Prompt for which stations to download and write the
configuration file.
--config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default
is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_na_dtv.conf. This is the file written by
--configure and read when grabbing.
--output FILE When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than standard
output.
--days N When grabbing, grab N days rather than 5.
--offset N Start grabbing at today + N days.
--quiet Only print error-messages on STDERR.
--debug Provide more information on progress to stderr to help in
debugging.
--list-channels Output a list of all channels that data is available
for. The list is in xmltv-format.
--capabilities Show which capabilities the grabber supports.
--version Show the version of the grabber.
--help Print a help message and exit.
ERROR HANDLING
If the grabber fails to download data, it will print an error message
to STDERR and then exit with a status code of 1 to indicate that the
data is missing.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The environment variable HOME can be set to change where configuration
files are stored. All configuration is stored in $HOME/.xmltv/. On
Windows, it might be necessary to set HOME to a path without spaces in
it.
TEMP or TMP, if present, will override the directory used to contain
temporary files. Default is "/tmp", so under Windows one of these is
required.
CREDITS
Grabber written Rod Roark (http://www.sunsetsystems.com/), modified by
Adam Lewandowski (adam@alewando.com) in January 2011 to account for
DirecTV site changes.
BUGS
Like any screen-scraping grabber, this one will break regularly as the
web site changes, and you should try to fetch a new one from the
project's repository. At some point the breakage might not be fixable
or it may be that nobody wants to fix it. Sane people should use
Schedules Direct instead.
