Get Cable, Dish and Local TV Listings Using Bash

[ Thanks to Mike Golvach for this link. ]

"This script still gets its content from TV Listings At Zap2It.com and accepts a much greater number of arguments than our last attempt. In this version, you can run the entire script manually, like so:

host # ./cabletv.sh

or use any of the flags for the various arguments required at time of execution. Of course we include "-h" for help. See directly below for a picture of your help/usage printout and a manual run up to, but not including, the beginning of the listings:"
