On 2nd thought, I may stick with what we have, as my download
is about 100 times faster than theirs.
I think they are always downloading ALL channels and then deleting unwanteds.
That would explain the endless delay.
It looks like it will take over 2 hours to download a week.
Mine takes under 2 minutes.

>1) DL at

>2) Unzip in a dedicated folder (C:\XMLTV).
>3) Setup:
>         a) Enter "xmltv tv_grab_na --configure"
>         b) Edit .\xmltv\tv_grab_na.conf and insert "not " ay every chan 
> that you do not have
>4) Download 7 days of listings to xmltv.txt (in .XML format):
>         xmltv tv_grab_na --output xmltv.txt
