SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTIONS

OPTIONS

       --scan Scan TV listings.  Either this option or --configure must be provided.

       --myreplaytv=UNIT,USERNAME,PASSWORD ** Feature removed ** This option used to auto-populate a config file based on myreplaytv.com.

       --guide=FILE, --listings=FILE Specify the name of XML guide file (default: guide.xml).

       --html Generate output in HTML format.

       --bluenew Highlights new episodes in blue (helpful back when there was an off-season)

       --output=FILE Write to FILE rather than standard output

       --help Provide a usage/help listing.
