using alternative EPG source for them – XMLTV.
XMLTV EPG information is delivered in form of xml files. These files have internal structure, described by XMLTV

Each xmltv file consists of a channel description section and a program description section. The first one lists all
channels, present in the xml file, and their properties. The second one contains actual program for each channel.
Each xmltv channel should be uniquely identified by its channel id. For example consider the following excerpt

XMLTV file management
DVBLink reads all xmltv files from XMLTV input directory on its start-up and re-reads them every hour. Program
for each channel is aggregated from all parts, found in different xmltv files.
When program needs to be updated, just copy new xmltv files to XMLTV Input directory either overwriting
existing files or putting new ones next to old ones. DVBLink can handle up to 3 months of program information.
For the efficiency reasons it is strongly advised to remove (very) old and unreferenced EPG information from xmltv
files, residing in XMLTV Input directory.
