I think someone has made a patch to grab radio listings, I will look
at it for the next release.

You'd need to look at the two XML formats and write a program to
convert between them, or find somebody else who has.

It is rather slow because it needs to fetch a lot of web pages, even
in fast mode. There is some work on improving this.

not impossible, it must depend on how many channels you have chosen.
