<h2>Grabber Types</h2>
<ul>
- <li>Over-the-Air (OTA) - These grabbers receive EPG data directly from the DVB network. This is often the easiest way to get up and running and does provide timely updates should scheduling change. However the information isn't always as rich as some of the other grabbers.
- <li>Internal - These are grabbers which can be internally initiated from within TVheadend using a very simple scheduler. These are typically Internet based services. This can be a quick way to get richer EPG data where you don't have decent OTA support.
- <li>External - These provide the option to run grabber scripts externally and to send data into TVheadend via Unix domain sockets. It provides the ability to run more complex configurations using things like cronjob's, script chains, etc.

- <li>OpenTV - This is a proprietary OTA EPG grabber. Its known to be used on the SKY networks, but others may use it. You need two configuration files to define settings for your particular network, if you don't see yours listed please visit IRC #hts for help.
