tvtime

tvtime is a program for Linux that allows a person to watch television through his or her PC using a TV tuner or a satellite receiver card DVB-S.

tvtime does not use a general purpose widget set, so it does not favour any particular desktop environment. The interface to tvtime is custom-developed and resembles the on-screen display from a sophisticated TV set. tvtime's deinterlacer is well regarded, giving better results than most software provided by TV card vendors, and used in several other GPL-licensed projects.
