Re: tv_grab_* + showguide: msg#00071

Subject: Re: tv_grab_* + showguide
Well, I don't have any easy solution for it. It can be regarded as a bug
in tv_grab_se, but to fix it I would have to always download one extra
day of programmes for each channel just to find the stop-time for the
last programme. The problem with this approach is that some applications
that use the grabber (MythTV is one of them) runs the grabber once for
each day which means that it would download the programmes for each day
twice.

Another solution is to script something with a combination of
tv_grab_se, tv_sort and tv_split, but that also takes some effort to
complete.

The solution I'm working on is to replace tv_grab_se with something
completely different based on the work of Fredrik Högberg. That will
however take some time to complete but it will provide us with better
data.
