tv_grab_ar - Grab TV listings for Argentina.

Bugs
This grabber extracts all information from the cablevision website. Any changes to the website 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.
It might be a good idea to cache program descriptions so there is no need to refetch them.
perl v5.34.0 2022-02-19 TV_GRAB_AR(1p)
Description
Output TV listings for several channels available in Argentina. Now supports terrestrial analog TV
listings, which is the most common TV viewed in Argentina.
The TV listings come 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-fileFILE 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.
--guiOPTION 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.
--outputFILE Write to FILE rather than standard output.
--daysN Grab N days. The default is 3.
--offsetN Start N days in the future. The default is to start from today.
--zoneN Specify a different location ID than that specified in the configuration file.
