Initial Comment:
Hello,

I'd like xmltv people to add or substitute for older one a new grabber for Spain. I think SincroniaTV (http://www.sincroguia.tv/programacion.html) is a good choice, it has updated tv listings for upcoming days also and picks almost every channel spanish people can watch. I propose you that change because older grabbers has serious errors. miguiatv listings are not found using latest version of xmltv and freeguidetv, and some months ago didn't show all channels. The other grabber laguiatv, is reported to be slow and has a lack of tv channels too.
Thanks,
Alberto.
:)

murrayf, I don't speak spanish. Does SincroniaTV offer an API with terms of
use that allow us to get their guide feed for personal use?

Hello dekarl,

I was finding out about the new grabber possibilities without not very
success, I explain you:

* SincroniaTV is a website developed by inouttv company
(http://www.inouttv.com/value-proposition/services.html), but to my low
understanding they offer you the possibility (after registration and get
the API key) to develop apps for their products only, so maybe it's not the
best try.

* Searching for tv listings providers with an API for personal use I found
one provider which allows you "non-commercial and limited license", to try
its API after registration, to get many public and private tv broadcasters
schedule listings and related info. I don't fully understand if they give
us unlimited use and grants to publish as a xmltv grabber. I post you the
links:
- http://developer.rovicorp.com/page
- http://developer.rovicorp.com/terms

Thanks,

Alberto.
