       Output TV and listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in Portugal. This program consumes the EPG service offering from SAPO at

       their terms of service. (automatic translation suggests it's free for personal use, verfication appreciated)

       First you must run tv_grab_pt_meo --configure to choose which stations 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.

       --config-file FILE Set the name of the configuration file, the default 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.

       --capabilities Show which capabilities the grabber supports. For more 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.
