+XMLTV is a set of utilities to manage your TV viewing. They work with TV
+listings stored in the XMLTV format, which is based on XML. The idea is to
+separate out the backend (getting the listings) from the frontend (displaying
+them for the user), and to implement useful operations like picking out your
+favourite programmes as filters that read and write XML documents.
+
+At present there are backends grabbing TV listings for Canada, the USA, the UK,
+Germany, Austria, Finland, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark,
+Japan, Sweden, France, Norway, and Romania.
