 |
|
What TV apps are in Gentoo Linux that are easy to use. TvTime is hopelessly outdated at current time. But last release was in 2005 it seems. KdeTv is no more in Gentoo Linux. I don't have a digital tv card, so I am looking for analog tv viewers.
Thanks for the help. |

other than age, what's wrong with tvtime?
tvtime is still my choice for analog stuff (use it everyday for my ps2)

| On my computer it skips channels that I try to scan in. I don't know why it happens, it just does. |

I use mplayer for watching tv on my analog card for a couple of years. Before, I used xawtv because tvtime needed 50% of cpu while xawtv used just 4 or 5.
You can start mplayer in slave mode and enter tv_start_scan command so you can copy/paste channels in config. I believe smplayer have some support for analog tv cards. |

if this happen, go manually to the channel (type it in) then use the menu to manually add it.
