With rapidly changing grabbers you might want to run the development version of xmltv on your system. Here's how to do this on Unix/Linux. The instructions work on Windows / Mac OS X etc. if you have a suitable development environment installed. (e.g. Mingw on Windows)

= Get the Source =
Get the latest version of the source code, preferably by checking it out from the central repository (it's easier to stay up to date that way)
* either download the source from INSERTLOCATION
* or checkout via cvs as described over at [http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=cvs&group_id=39046 sourceforge]

% cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xmltv co -P xmltv

= Build from Source =
As seen at http://xmltv.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xmltv/xmltv/README

Basic installation instructions (Linux/Unix):

% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
% make install

To install in a custom directory, replace the first line with
something like

% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/wherever/

= Test your Grabber =
If you just updated or change the grabber you can test it by running the following commands in the source tree.
% make
% grab/test_grabbers --only uk_rt

= Prepare a Patch =
If you changed the source code of the grabber you can sum up the changes to submit back.
% cvs -q diff > ~/a-nice-name-summarizing-your-changes.patch

		+
		+	If you want to write over whatever your package manager has installed for you set the PREFIX to whatever has been used in the package, to find out use which:
		+
		+	% which tv_cat
		+	'''/usr'''/bin/tv_cat
		+
		+	Use whatever is in front of /bin/tv_cat as PREFIX, in this case that would be
