DESCRIPTION
Output TV and listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in
Portugal. This program consumes the EPG service offering from SAPO at
<http://services.sapo.pt/Metadata/Service/EPG?culture=EN>. See
<http://seguranca.sapo.pt/termosdeutilizacao/apis_rss_webservices.html>
for their terms of service. (automatic translation suggests it's free
for personal use, verfication appreciated)

you want to receive.
Then running tv_grab_pt_meo with no arguments will get a listings for
the stations you chose for all available days including today.
OPTIONS--configure Prompt for which stations to download and write the
configuration file.

is ~/.xmltv/tv_grab_pt_meo.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 everything available.
--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.

information, see <http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities>
--version Show the version of the grabber.
--help Print a help message and exit.
ERROR HANDLING
If the grabber fails to download data from webstep, it will print an
errormessage 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.
