XMLTV is a set of utilities to manage your TV viewing. They work with
TV listings stored in the XMLTV format, which is based on XML. The
idea is to separate out the back-end (getting the listings) from the
frontend (displaying them for the user), and to implement useful
operations like picking out your favourite programmes as filters that
read and write XML documents.

There are five backends at present, grabbing TV listings for Canada,
the USA, the UK, Germany, Austria, Sweden and Norway. There are
filters to sort the listings by date, to remove shows that have
already been broadcast, and a couple of programmes to organize your
viewing by storing preferences of what shows you watch. There are a
couple of backends to produce printed output.
