If you don't want to use a scraping site, you can use the MHEG-5 converter
that I wrote.  This is NOT a scraper or service, it converts MHEG-5 data
dumped from the DVB-T stream.  The trade-off is that it doesn't have as
much detail such as show category.

However, it provides 7 days worth of listings, HD/Surround
sound/captions/freeview rating flags, descriptions, title and a unique
episode + series reference numbers.  It does not need a internet
connection as it works completely offline.  It has limited support for
matching categories that is provided in a local file.  It matches based on
series ID or title, then sets the categories listed in the file.  This
means you need to update the file with the new series name/ID and what
categories you want manually.
