XdTV

XdTV is a software that allows you to watch, record & stream TV.

It interacts with AleVT for Teletext and Nxtvepg for NextView.

It uses the v4l/v4l2, bktr & DVB APIs. It can use some deinterlacing filters

and can record video files in various containers (AVI, MPEG, OGG, etc.) with many codecs:

FFMpeg, XviD, Ogg Theora & Vorbis, DivX.

It has also some plugin capabilities.
