The other listings source mentioned is
<http://www.mtv3.fi/tvopas/>. I'll have a look.

Can you give an example of where the output data is wrong,
and compare it with what the website says?

As far as I can tell the mtv3.fi site has a rather different
format because it lacks the per-channel details pages like
<http://www.katso.fi/tvopas/?pvm=2005-01-10&tv_kanava=3>.
Still a separate grabber could be written for this site if
someone volunteers.

I've also noticed the info on www.katso.fi is very
incomplete at times. Often during weekend it doesn't give
any info on e.g. Eurosport and many others. Also it lags
behing a lot! Today 19.04.2005 it's showing that MTV3 is
airing icehockey although the season has already ended.
Probably becaouse the magazine Katso is only updated every
thursday, and they're probably not doing anything on the
site in the mean time...
My personal suggestion for a new grabbing site is
www.telkku.com. Has a very complete listing, lacks the
problems of Katso and has a quite similar layout to Katso,
individual pages for each channel.
http://www.telkku.com/telkku.cgi?n=&s=&p=0&sn=11&konro=2&sp=0
as an example. Hopefully someone can code this into XMLTV,
would make a great software even better...

Hi,

Another good site for finnish channels is
http://www.nyt.fi/televisio/kaikki/tanaan. I think it is different
from site structure.

But could you download channel information from somewhere
else than katso.fi because they do not have data for all
channels etc. please.

Yep, I definately second the request for using www.nyt.fi as
a source. The layout isn't very different from www.katso.fi,
but the links to the channels differs quite a bit from how
katso handles them...

I edited the previous tv_grab_fi to collect data from
http://www.nyt.fi/televisio/. There probably are some bugs since it's
my first experience with Perl.

Please test the script and submit corrections!

Brilliant that someone finally made a grabber for Nyt.fi
I'm still at work so I can't test it yet. Code looks solid
though (not that I know really, I tried to do the same and
failed so misserably it still hurts;). One thing though,
Nyt.fi allows one to add more than plus6 to the day but in
these cases it returns the data for today. How is this
handled? Is the data added or is it cut after 7 days?
Also it would be great if some filtering would be applied to
the descriptions and titles, but that's just fine tuning.
Great work!

I updated the script I made for parsing nyt.fi. The
channels are sorting properly now, and a regexp bug was
corrected. A user gave me feedback about utf8 parsing mode
not working with Windows platform. I haven't tested it,
but if it causes any problems just comment out line 572.

New version (URLs updated, 70 days between months bug fixed)
can be found from here:

http://www.matelijat.net/xmltv/tv_grab_fi

I've done nothing else, so you should probably patch it to
the newest version, if you can still find the original
version. :)

The katso.fi-based tv_grab_fi grabber was replaced with the new telkku.com-based grabber in 2006.
