DESCRIPTION

       Output TV listings in XMLTV format for many stations available in Portugal.  This program consumes the
       EPG service from <https://vodafone.pt/>.

       First you must run tv_grab_pt_vodafone --configure to choose which stations you want to receive.

       Then running tv_grab_pt_vodafone with no arguments will get listings for the stations you chose for the
       maximum 7 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_vodafone.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 Vodafone, it will print an error message 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.

       This grabber uses code from tv_grab_pt_meo by Karl Dietz, dekarl -at- users -dot- sourceforge -dot- net,
       and from tv_grab_zz_sdjson by Kevin Groeneveld, kgroeneveld -at- gmail -dot- com.

       The original idea of this grabber came from higuita's shell script, see
       <https://github.com/higuita/vodafone.pt-xmltv>.

       Special thanks to Vodafone for building a clean, fast, and public access API; much more reliable than
       Meo's open API (but sadly not as open) and much better than the lack of any API from NOS.
