xmltv2html project is a Ruby script that generates a HTML page from the output of XMLTV.

The generated HTML page will have the channels listed on the vertical axis and the shows' times on the horizontal axis. The shows' information is displayed via DHTML popups. Virtually every aspect of the HTML page can be customized via the configuration file and CSS file.

VALID XMLTV

It is very important to have a valid xmltv file prior to using xmltv2html.
The xmltv distribution has two programs that are vital:
tv_sort will sort the listings by date and add stop times (see man tv_sort)
tv_grep will filter programmes and shows (see man tv_grep).

Requirements:
REXML
Ruby

Installation:

Manually

Download and unpack the .tar.gz or .zip file
ruby setup.rb all

Using GEM (rubygems.rubyforge.org)

gem install xmltv2html

What's New in This Release:
A large number of fixes were made for dealing with xmltv data from grabbers other than na_dd.
These include correcting start and stop times, removing shows that are too short, and adding dummy shows when there are missing data.
