Just had a look at it - seems easy to configure and can fetch a whole
bunch of channels.

Hm... there are quite long descriptions on the website the script
fetches from. Unfortunately I'm no use at all when it comes to perl :(
(I started programming in Pascal, but that was *way* back in an other
century.)

When you look at a frame for a whole day, after the form stuff the
program table starts with:

<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%"
bgcolor="#ddd8d0"><tr><td>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr><td bgcolor="f0f0eb"><span id="hboerse">TV-Programm</span><br></td></tr>

A typical program entry looks like that:

<tr><td bgcolor="#f0f0eb">
<dl>
<dt>
<font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial"><b>6.00-7.00</b></font> 
<font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial">SWR</font>
</dt><dd>
<a href="sendung.html?cid=Sw3&stime=2004-01-04%2006%3a00%3a00%2b01"><font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial">Der Kampf der Flugzeugbauer</font></a><br>
<font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial">Dokumentation</font><br><font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial">Die Geschichte von Airbus</font><br><font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial">(Showview: 2-689-538)</font><br></dd></dl>
</td></tr>

Notice the link at line #7?

If I had some more spare time...
