I have no idea how Schedules Direct works, but if it downloads an
XMLTV file, then it would be possible to use a grabber to create
another XMLTV file and then write a script to extract bits from it and
insert them into the other XMLTV file using the XMLTV tools or Python.
For a long while here in New Zealand we had the TV1 channel
broadcasting BBC World overnight, and our XMLTV grabber script scraped
BBC World web page and merged that data into the grabbed XMLTV
wherever it found "BBC World".
