TV XML Feeds

[CommonBlob]

Odd topic, im sure you are thinking. But as Home Assistant has become a bit of a hub for me including controlling my tv. Has anyone seen any tv xml feeds around? Preferably free, or cheap.

My thought is to integrate the feed into HA and Alexa then to do things like change channel using IR.
I have the alexa thing and the IR working fine, but id like to do something like:
Alexa, ask home assistant to find Big Bang Theory or something, and i search a feed for a channel with it on, then change to it.

I imagine there are other apps that may do this, but a) its a thing to do, and b) would be cool in HA as well.

Thanks @rpitera. It looks like it could be build to integrate an xmltv feed or something similar. Doesnt look like it does it out of the box though as im looking at live tv, not neccessarily the stuff I have to watch downloaded.

Worth some further investigation though… Thanks
