GShow TV is a TV program schedule viewer and a Personal Video Recorder GUI. The basic purpose of GShow TV is to provide a nice GUI for viewing tv program schedule information and for recording the programs.

GShow TV doesnt itself do the recording of the selected programs, rather it uses any PVR solution that exists. GShow TV is globally usable as it uses XMLTV to access the program schedules, and xmltv has support for multitude of countries. (mid 2004 support for Canada, the USA, the UK, Germany, Austria, Finland, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, France, Norway, Portugal and Romania)

The interface between the recording software and the GUI is two trivial shell scripts, which are of course modifiable by the user as they see fit. The reason why this separation is simple: On linux almost everybody who has a TV card on their computer uses a different recording solution.

The multitude of home made recording systems is countless. However, most home made systems dont include a nice GUI and hence GShow TV. GShow TV uses XMLTV for its tv listing. GShow TV can be used as a TV Guide without its recording functionality.

QtTV is a TV Guide. It reads from an XMLTV formatted document to retrieve listings, then allows output sorted by time, per channel or in a grid of time vs channel.

For now, the package requires the XMLTV listings to be in "/root/Documents/tv.xml" if you are installing on the zaurus. Windows or linux compilations allow you to choose a file.

Be aware that this software is slow to load and may be buggy.

WebVCR+ is a Web frontend to record your TV shows from, which has a TV Guide-like interface. You can record your shows to many different formats, and convert them during the idle time your computer isnt recording.
You can also add favorites and manage your video library through the Web interface. Listings can be specified in XMLTV format, or grabbed from advalvas/eurotv. You can also easily add different commandline video recorders.

Gecko Multimedia System is a complete media solution, able to play almost all media types and supports scheduled tv-recording from online tv-guides.

It is intended to replace your VCR, DVD, MP3- and CD-player into one single software-unit. It is mainly for use in Linux-systems (well, its the only system Ive tried it on).

Please note that Gecko requires VRD to be able to record television. VRD is not yet 100% functional.
