       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.
