Linux TV - what software do you use to watch tv

[Russell Reiter]

We got mplayer working on dvb:// and a channels list with w_scan. I
did add CBC to the list by hand. If anyone has a GTA channels.conf
they could share, I'd appreciate it

Some things I'm working on before trying to tackle VLC or myth.

Gmplayer crashes the video window, xine can't find the device,
Kaffeine finds the channels but won't display the picture and me-tv
will record sound and audio beautifully but it also won't display the
real time video.

Any suggestions on why mplayer seems to drive normally and nothing
else does would be helpful .  I do have to invoke mplayer this way

mplayer dvb:// -ao sdl -autosync 30

to deal with syncing the audtio and there is quite a lag time in
changing channel.

Thanks
Russell
