tv_grab_na_dtv: add zipcode as command argument?

[kevev]

Is there any way to have tv_grab_na_dtv accept zipcode as command argument?

ex: tv_grab_na_dtv -z 10229

Apps are allowed to add non-standard command line switches,  but is there a reason not to follow the normal --configure process?  It's normally only done once.

Thank You for the reply. I am wanting parse a zipcode list. I have tried creating an expect script to do this. But having issues. Now that I think of it, I don't know how command arguments could handle saying yes/no to channel selection.

Hmmm trying to get guide listings just to parse a zipcode doesn't seem like a fair load on the directtv servers.  Doesn't the USPS offer a zipcode list?  At least I think they provide an address validation API.

I am only doing this for 3 cities in my state.
