[mythtv-users] Using mythtv as a plain VCR with xmltv but no broadband connection to internet

[Jimmy Larsson]

I am not sure which grabber to use. However, its Swedish and partially 
Danish channels I am interrested in. In fact, I can only receive 6-7 
channels totally so if there is any way for me to download just that 
data, I would be happy. :-)
