| Recommended UK grabber | |
| XMLTV Radio Times |
http://www.birtles.org.uk/xmltv/ - I recommend using the
XMLTV Radio Times grabber instead of TVxb. It's fast, has a GUI
interface and full descriptions can be turned on/off by hour. It covers a comprehensive set of channels, however, if anything is missing then you could use TVxb the fetch these channels, then merge in the Radio Times xmltv file (See below for an example of how to do this.) |

TVxb Grabber - Merging example If the XMLTV Radio Times grabber does not include all the channels you want, then you can use TVxb to download any additional schedules and then merge the Radio Times xmltv file to create a single XMLTV file. Here is an example .ini file that will run XMLTV Radio Times and then merge in Norwegian NRK1 and Swedish SVT 1 |

| TVxb Grabber - Channel templates | |
| Sky | Template for grabbing Sky listings - could be used to plug the gaps left by the Radio Times grabber - (Updated 30/8/2007) |
| The remaining listing sources below haven't tested for quite a while now. Presumably Radio Times will cover all these channels anyway... | |
| BBC | London plus regional channels from the BBC web-site. Most channels include program descriptions |
| ITV | All channels listed on
the ITV web-site. Program descriptions for most channels. Also an
alternative source for Channel 4 & BBC listings. (Revised 16/4/2005 - small improvement to ITV1 listings - requires TVxb 1.0065 or higher) |
| S4C | S4C Analogue and Digital listings. Includes program descriptions. |
| Various | Discovery and National Geographic channels - provides better program descriptions than the Sky listings |
