I have recently downloaded the windows executable and
i wish to use it with a custom tv_grab file but I'am afraid
there is no option for doing this. Is it possible to do this
or should I just email the tv_grab file somewhere ?

    huh??? can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by a custom
    tv_grab file?

    If you're talking about executing a modified script
    (tv_grab_uk for example), you're right... there is no way to
    do that with the executable, you'll need to install Perl and
    the all modules and run it that way.

    email the tv_grab file somewhere???? I have no idea what
    you you're talking about there.

    I have a grab file for Greece ( tv_grab_gr ) which i wanted to
    use with the executable but I couldn't because there is no
    option a user to use a grab file which is not included.

    Email the grab file = email the grab file to the person who
    made the executable so he can include it in the next release.

    sorry, xmltv.exe is a compilation of most xmltv distributed
    scripts. There is now way to use it to execute a program
    other than the ones built in to the XMLTV package.

    The author of tv_grab_gr can look into having it included in
    XMLTV and then it may be included in xmltv.exe.

    Your only solution is to install Perl (http://www.perl.org)
    and the modules necessary for to use tv_grab_gr.
