Grab \s-1TV\s0 listings for several channels available in Finland. The data comes from various sources, e.g. www.telkku.com. The grabber relies on parsing \s-1HTML\s0, so it might stop working when the web page layout is changed.
You need to run \*(C`tv_grab_fi --configure\*(C' first to create the channel configuration for your setup. Subsequently runs of \*(C`tv_grab_fi\*(C' will grab the latest data, process them and produce \s-1XML\s0 data on the standard output.
Grab mode.
Show the capabilities this grabber supports. See also <http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XmltvCapabilities>.
Generate the configuration file by asking the users which channels to grab.
Print the description for this grabber.
Show this help page.
Fetch all available channels from the various sources and write them to the standard output.
Show the version of this grabber.
File name to cache the fetched \s-1HTML\s0 data in. This speeds up subsequent runs using the same data.
Enable the graphical user interface. If you don't specify \s-1OPTION\s0 then \s-1XMLTV\s0 will automatically choose the best available \s-1GUI\s0. Allowed values are:
Terminal output with a progress bar
Terminal output without progress bar
Tk-based \s-1GUI\s0
Suppress any progress messages to the standard output.
File name to write the configuration to. Default is $HOME/.xmltv/tv_grab_fi.conf.
File name to read the configuration from. Default is $HOME/.xmltv/tv_grab_fi.conf. Grab \*(C`N\*(C' days of \s-1TV\s0 data. Default is 14 days. Grab \s-1TV\s0 data starting at \*(C`N\*(C' days in the future. Default is 0, i.e. today.
Write the \s-1XML\s0 data to \s-1FILE\s0 instead of the standard output.
The configuration file is line oriented, each line can contain one command. Empty lines and everything after the \*(C`#\*(C' comment character is ignored. Supported commands are:
Grab information for this channel. \*(C`ID\*(C' depends on the source, \*(C`NAME\*(C' is ignored and forwarded as is to the \s-1XMLTV\s0 output file. This information can be automatically generated using the grabber in the configuration mode.
If a programme title matches \*(C`NAME\*(C' then the first sentence of the description, i.e. everything up to the first period (\*(C`.\*(C'), question mark (\*(C`?\*(C') or exclamation mark (\*(C`!\*(C'), is removed from the description and is used as the name of the episode.
If a programme title contains a colon (\*(C`:\*(C') then the grabber checks if the left-hand side of the colon matches \*(C`NAME\*(C'. If it does then the left-hand side is used as programme title and the right-hand side as the name of the episode. If the programme title starts with the string \*(C`FROM\*(C' then replace this part with the string \*(C`TO\*(C'. The strings must be enclosed in single quotes (\*(C`'\*(C') or double quotes (\*(C`"\*(C'). The title mapping occurs before the \*(C`series\*(C' command processing.
At the beginning of 2012 some programme descriptions started to include parental levels at the end of the title, e.g. \*(C`(S)\*(C'. With this command all parental levels will be removed from the titles automatically. This removal occurs before the title mapping.

The channels are identified by channel number rather than the \s-1RFC2838\s0 form recommended by the \s-1XMLTV\s0 \s-1DTD\s0.
