+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 back-end (getting the listings) from the front-end
+(displaying them for the user), and to implement useful operations like
+picking out your favorite programs as filters that read and write XML
+documents.
+
+At present there are back-ends grabbing TV listings for Australia, Belgium
+and Luxembourg, Brazil, Argentina, Britain and Ireland, Croatia, Denmark,
+Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary and Romania, Iceland, Italy,
+Japan, Netherlands, North America, Norway, Portugal, Reunion Island (France),
+South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
+
+xmltv_prereq is required to build and run xmltv; a script for it is
+also available at SlackBuilds.org.
