XMLTV is a few things with the same name.

* XMLTV is a very popular XML based file format for describing TV listings. see [[XMLTVFormat]]
* XMLTV is an interface contract between programs the emit guide data and programs that consume it. see [[HowtoWriteAGrabber]] and [[HowtoUseGrabbers]]
* XMLTV is a perl module that helps to create XMLTV formatted documents. see [[XMLTVModule]]
* XMLTV is a collection of tools to obtain, manipulate, and search TV Listings. see [[XMLTVProject]]

Most of this Wiki has to do with the [[XMLTVProject]]

==Related Projects==

There are lots of applications that use XMLTV-formatted files., these include guide viewers and PVRs. There are also some grabbers not included in the XMLTV project distribution. See [[XmltvRelatedProjects]].

The [[XmltvUnrelatedProjects]] are things which don't use the XMLTV format but are somehow connected to TV listings.</text>
