! B<--configure> and read when grabbing.
  
! B<--output FILE> When grabbing, write output to FILE rather than
! standard output.

! B<--offset N> Start grabbing at today + N days.  N may be negative.
  
! B<--quiet> Suppress the progress-bar normally shown on standard error.
  
! B<--debug> Provide more information on progress to stderr to help in
! debugging.
  
! B<--list-channels> Write output giving <channel> elements for every
! channel available (ignoring the config file), but no programmes.

  =head1 ERROR HANDLING
--- 648,671 ----
  =head1 OPTIONS
  
! Please see tv_grab_uk_guardian  --help
  
! =head1 INSTALLATION
  
! The file F<tv_grab_uk_guardian.map.conf> has two purposes.  Firstly you can map the channel ids used by the site into something more meaningful to your PVR. E.g.
  
!       map==bbc-1-south==BBC 1	
  
! will change "bbc-1-south" to "BBC 1" in the output XML.
  
! Note: the lines are of the form "map=={channel id}=={my name}".
  
! The second purpose is to likewise translate genre names.  So if your PVR doesn"t have a category for "Science Fiction" but uses "Sci-fi" instead, then you can specify
  
!       cat==Science Fiction==Sci-fi
  
! and the output XML will have "Sci-fi".
  
  
! IMPORTANT: the downloaded "tv_grab_uk_guardian.map.conf" contains example lines to illustrate the format - you should edit this file to suit your own purposes!

  For information on supported channels, see http://tvlistings.guardian.co.uk/text-only/all-channels/
  
+ =head1 XMLTV VALIDATION
+ 
+ B<tv_validate_grabber> may report an error similar to:
+ 
+       "Line 5 Invalid channel-id BBC 1"
+ 	
+ This is a because ValidateFile.pm insists the channel-id adheres to RFC2838 despite the xmltv.dtd only saying "preferably" not "SHOULD".  
+ (Having channel ids of the form "bbc1.bbc.co.uk" will be rejected by many PVRs since they require the data to match their own list.)
+ 
+ It may also report:
+ 
+       "tv_sort failed on the concatenated data. Probably due to overlapping data between days."
+ 	
+ Both these errors can be ignored.
+ 
+ =head1 DISCLAIMER
+ 
+ The Guardian website"s license for these data does not allow non-personal use.
+ 
+ Certainly any commercial use of listings data obtained by using this grabber will breach copyright law, but if you are just using the data for your own personal use then you are probably fine.
+ 
+ By using this grabber you aver you are using the listings data for your own personal use only and you absolve the author(s) from any liability under copyright law or otherwise.
