I think that the proper way to go would be to at the very least write
something that outputs a TV.xml file that feels liks it comes from
tv_grab_sn.

I'm gearing up towards (OK, I'm slouching :) reading the plain text-files
generated by the swedish DIY tv-guide web-site; tv-tabl�n
(http://tv.theyard.org/) to TV.xml looking files. I'm leaning towards an
evil hack rather than learning some sophisticated xml api.

Haven't checked the archives (not searchable on SF atm), but would it be 
possible to use the text-tv (teletext) TV guides for each channel to do 
this? Freevo could access each channels guide pages when they switch (some 
have once per day, some three, som a full week) around 4-5 in the morning, 
or update on demand.

It would of course require a TV card that decodes the text-tv information 
- do the drivers on Linux have support for this?

Note that I have never actually used TV guides on my Freevo box, since my 
broadband provider thinks it's OK to take 2 months to activate my cable 
connection... =(
