Under FreeBSD there are a few usable TV applications fxtv, xawtv and mplayer pretty much covers it - the first two have TV like interfaces and mplayer does full screen with XVideo - even in the root window which is neat. I tend to use fxtv for channel flipping (while alevt reads text pages) and mplayer for watching. If you have enough CPU then mencoder and ffmpeg can both act as soft VCRs - programmable with at and cron :))) -- C:>WIN | Directable Mirrors The computer obeys and wins. |A Better Way To Focus The Sun You lose and Bill collects. | licenses available - see: | http://www.sohara.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
