Automated xmltv retrieval?

FreeGuide looks great! It's the program I've been
looking around for quite some time.

Before finding FreeGuide, I had run across xmltv, and
ran it from a cmd prompt (I'm using windows xp). But I
hadn't figured out how to view those listings...

Now I'm wondering if there's a way I could
automatically download listings (while I'm at work)
and then later use FreeGuide to decide what to watch
(while I'm at home).

As far as I can tell, when FreeGuide downloads
listings it's running multiple instances of an xmltv
batch file, to pull down one .xmltv file for each day.


Question #1: Could I set FreeGuide to look at an
.xmltv file that spans multiple days? This file would
be the result of the "vanilla" output listings that
xmltv creates.

Question #2: Alternatively, could I create a DOS batch
file that steps through the FreeGuide xmltv batch
file, and creates the "one file for each day" process.

Again, my intention here is to automate the process.
I'm hoping to create a "download.bat" file to click on
(maybe run automatically) without having to start
FreeGuide up and download manually.

Forgive me if this is already addressed somewhere
else, but quite a bit of googling and searching in the
sourceforge forum didn't give me any satisfaction.
Thanks, Clint
