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.

       --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.

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.
