I've not seen anything for Linux that even comes close to the
only-barely-adequate software provided for Windows, however I have been
following the progress of the drivers and I've been able to get picture
and sound fairly reliably out of my card using tzap, cat and mplayer as
described in this thread with the pre1 drivers (not tried anything newer
yet). The progress that's been made, especially with the 'scan' program,
is fantastic, and it's looking like it's about time to see about writing
some sort of interface program designed for budget terrestrial cards.

I finish my degree in a couple of months, so I'm going to see if I've
got time to look at this around them. It probably won't be anything
fancy, some sort of Perl GTK+ program which just wraps the existing
process perhaps (the ideal solution would be a nice C++ app that uses
the driver API properly with something like libxine for the MPEG
decoding), but hopefully something that will help people get started a
bit more quickly, and make watching digital terrestrial much more
pleasant.

Unless of course anyone else was planning on doing such a thing.
