Linux Multimedia Hacks: Watch TV on Your Computer

Overview The TV tuner is installed, all the cables are connected, and the card is recognized by Linux, but how does one actually watch TV with it? This paper covers some of the Linux tools one can use to configure the TV tuner and watch TV with it from Linux desktop. The most basic program one can use to watch TV under Linux is xawtv, which started as an application specifically for the bttv driver, but since then has been expanded to work with video4linux, so one can use it with a number of tuners.
