DESCRIPTION

       Output TV listings for several channels available in Argentina.  Now supports the
       terrestrial analog tv listings, which is the most common tv viewed in Argentina.  The tv
       listings comes from http://www.buscadorcablevision.com.ar/ The grabber relies on parsing
       HTML so it might stop working at any time.

       First run tv_grab_ar --configure to choose, which channels you want to download. Then
       running tv_grab_ar 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_ar.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.  The default is 3.

       --offset N Start N days in the future.  The default is to start from today.

       --quiet Suppress the progress messages normally written to standard error.

BUGS

       This grabber extracts all information from cablevision website. Any change in this web
       page may cause this grabber to stop working.  Retrieving the description information adds
       a considerable amount of time to the run and makes the file quite large.  migth be a good
       idea to add a cache file the keeps the program description so there is no need to fetch
       it.
