[--quiet] [--retries N]
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.
--retries number of retries before failing channel download.
--help print a help message and exit.
