Hejsa,
I wrote my own tv_grab_dk_alt ("alternative"), that uses TDC's tv guide.
http://tdckabeltv.dk/?UniversID=3
Primarily for these reasons:
* I had already written it before I heard of XMLTV, so it was just an
API tweak to get it to work with XMLTV
* I insist on English titles for english programs.
* I insist on getting an ending time for all programs. To have the last
program of the evening last from 23:30 to 17:00 is just plain annoying...
* TDC's listings are the easiest to parse to extract credits, IMDB
links, etc.
********************
* Warning *
********************
It has a *MAJOR* flaw: On TDC's listings, all program descriptions are
on a separate page. So *many* HTML pages are retrieved. 20 channels * 20
programs / channel * 7 days = 2800 HTML pages!!!
OK, so you've seen the warning. Here is the script:

I really haven't given it that much testing - it works for me.
