XdTV

XdTV is a software that allows you to watch TV.

It interacts with AleVT for Teletext and Nxtvepg for NextView.

It uses the video4linux API. It can use deinterlacing filters

and record video files with various video and audio codecs (ffmpeg, xvid, divx, etc.).

The current CVS snapshots of XdTV have a DVB support included.
DVB-T support isn't finished yet. Actually this feature is highly experimental even if it's usable. You need LIBSDL & LIBCURL to use it.

FEATURES :

see dvb-t channels (TNT in france)
switch from a channel to an other
scantv works (xdtv_scantv -dvb), you must choose between download a tranponder file or use a local one.

TODO :

INSTALL AND TEST

If you want to test it :

Your drivers for dvb cards must be properly installed : get them from http://www.linuxtv.org/
For the moment XdTV just perform a scan on a DVB-T device : you have to put the found channels in your xdtvrc file

1) scan device with the scan program :

	$>xdtv_scan -dvb
 
       Then choose your country and city

2) copy and paste the output into your xdtvrc

3) then run :

	$>xdtv -dvb

Note : You can switch from a dvb channel to an other one but no to an analogic (V4l/v4l2) one !
