we have code which implements an xmltv grabber
it is based on tv_grab_dvb (it is called tv_grab_dvb_plus)
i use it to augment the epg data that comes from the radio times and freesat

it is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tvgrabeit/

that should be tvgrabdvbplus, but after 2 months sf.net has not got
around to changing the name
