tv_grab_na_tvmedia1p

Usage

Overview

Outputs TV listings in XMLTV format for stations available in North America. Data is provided by TVMedia Inc.

The grabber requires an _active_ subscription to XMLTVListings.com, as well as at least one lineup selected from your account page. Then you can run tv_grab_na_tvmedia --configure to set your API key and which lineup you want to receive.

Then running tv_grab_na_tvmedia with no arguments will get listings for all the channels you in your lineup, as you configured on XMLTVListings.com
