# Retrieves NBA League Pass listings from DIRECTV and loads them into

# Uses XMLTV grabber tv_grab_na_dtv. The grabber was modified to add
# a new request parameter of 'sm=1' to the listings URL. This was 
# necessary to retrieve the extra channels (including the NBA channels).
# A patch has been submitted to XMLTV for inclusion in future releases.
