Here, we aim to provide useful information about software applications that are directly related to or which are generally useful in some respect to the reception and manipulation of TV signals on Linux based computer systems.

In order to be most useful for the reader, this page is divided into three sections:

  • An Alphabetical Overview Listing
  • A Categorized section for software useful for DVB TV cards (full featured cards and budget cards as for most of the software this doesn't make a difference)
  • A Categorized section for software useful for analog TV cards (also see the information currently contained in the video4linux wiki).

If you're new, you might be more interested in how to quickly get a fully working system rather than trying single programs one after another. See the Example setups page for this. You might even want to save more time and just quickly test your system, see the Testing your DVB device.
