Free maxemum tv software for linux

Me TV is a digital television viewer for GNOME.
The software was developed for the modern digital lounge room with a PC for a media centre that is capable of normal PC tasks (web surfing, word processing and watching TV). It is not designed to be a full-blown media centre such as MythTV but will integrate well with the existing GNOME desktop. If you think that a remote is something that belongs in a museum then Me TV is probably for you.
It currently supports only DVB-T but Im willing to add support for other DVB types because it seems straight forward. It just needs to be tested.
Main features:
- Completely mouse driven
- Current and future program information
- Instant Record
- Double-click fullscreen
- DVB-T and DVB-C support
- Very simple installation and set up

Karamba TV offers TV listings of the main Spanish TV Channels.

Karamba TV is a SuperKaramba theme.

XMLTV is a set of utilities to manage your TV viewing. They work with TV listings stored in the XMLTV format, which is based on XML.
The idea of XMLTV is to separate out the backend (getting the listings) from the frontend (displaying them for the user), and to implement useful operations like picking out your favourite programmes as filters that read and write XML documents.
At present there are backends grabbing TV listings for Canada, the USA, Britain and Ireland, Germany, Austria, Finland, Spain, the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, France, Norway, and Romania.
There are filters to sort the listings by date, to remove shows that have already been broadcast, and a couple of programmes to organize your viewing by storing preferences of what shows you watch. There are a couple of backends to produce printed output.
Enhancements:
- This release includes new grabbers for Croatia and Switzerland and miscellaneous updates to many different grabbers, including a fix for the tv_grab_na_dd startime problem.

Media Listings project aims to provide a comfortable way to see the TV listings of supported TV channels. More exactly, it displays defined number of programs, which are yet to come, based on current date and time.

Clicking one of the displayed programs will start your default browser and navigate to appropriate additional info page of the program.

Muxi is a tv application and personal video recorder for DVB-T. The project includes an electronic programme guide, live stream recording and time shifting.

xawtv started as TV application for the bttv driver, because the Motif-based "xtvscreen" was the only TV application at this time. Alot has changed since:
- The xawtv and bttv driver switched over to the video4linux interface.
- Support for more interfaces was added: Xvideo Extention, the new video4linux2 interface and BSD Family video grabber driver (bktr).
- xawtv isnt a single application any more, it is a small suite of video4linux related software, with video recording capabilities and serveral useful command line tools.
- In the future even more hardware will be supported, the current development snapshots already have DVB support for example.
Main features:
xawtv
- of course, it is still the main application, for watching TV.
motv
- a new, IMHO better, TV application with a Motif-based GUI.
mtt
- a teletext browser, also uses Motif. This one works on a terminal too.
pia
- a simple movie player.
fbtv
- is a TV application for the linux console, it uses a framebuffer devices to display the video.
streamer
- a command line tool for recording movies.
v4lctl
- a command line tool to set video4linux parameters (tune in some channel, set TV norm, ...).
scantv
- a command line tool to do a channel scan.
radio
- a simple, curses-based radio app.
webcam
- captures images and uploads them to a Web-Server via ftp or ssh in a endless loop.
alevtd
- a http server for videotext pages, so you can watch read videotext with a webbrowser.
- Most of the apps share the xawtv config file (~/.xawtv).

KatchTV is an "Internet TV" application for KDE. KatchTV makes it easy to subscribe to "TV" channels from all over the internet in the form of podcasts, so that you can browse channels, download shows, and watch them, all from one convenient interface.

KatchTV is very similar to Democracy TV, but focuses on KDE integration, using KHTMLPart and embedded players such as kaffeine. Its much faster, and lighter on resources if you run a KDE desktop without GTK apps.

Installation is easy, as long as your distro has PyKDE, PyQt, and Kaffeine. Just untar to some directory like /usr/local, and run the KatchTV program. You can also make a symlink to that executable from a directory like /usr/local/bin, and KatchTV will work out where to find its files.

Comments welcome; let me know if youve any problems using it.
