Found some info on this link: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xmltv/xmltv/README?rev=1.85

Seems that tv_grab_sn is blocked by the site it's trying to get channel data from (http://www.dagenstv.com/se/frontpage/), so it was removed from xmltv version 0.5.25...

Yes, there is a tv_grab_se in the current version of xmltv. It got added in 0.5.30. It is still keyworded ~arch, though.
Comment 3 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-13 16:41:55 UTC
Unmasked 0.5.34.

I've also written a new grabber based on the old tv_grab_sn that grabs data from Aftonbladet's PLUS pages. Email me if you're interested in the script as it is not included in xmltv.
