34 The <application>DVB-Apps</application> package contains a collection of
35 command line utilities for controlling and using a digital television
36 card/chip installed (possibly through a USB port) on your computer. These
37 are useful for scanning to make an index of the available channels, tuning
38 the chip to a chosen station or recording the channel to a file on your
39 computer so you can watch it at a later date.

87 There are many TV chips available so it is not possible to give guidance
88 on the kernel config for all of them. <command>lspci</command> from
89 <xref linkend="pciutils"/> and Goggle are your friends. One possible
90 gotcha is that some pci cards (such as the <ulink
91 url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hauppauge-WinTV-Nova-digital-tuner/dp/B000I1RHWA">
92 Hauppauge Nova T 500</ulink>) present themselves to the motherboard as a
93 USB controller and the TV chip on the card communicates with the
94 motherboard via this USB interface.

225 If you give it ten seconds or so to buffer you can then start to watch the
226 file with a video player such as <command>xine</command> or
227 <command>mplayer</command>. The advantage of watching TV via a file in
228 this way is that it allows you to pause playback and rewind if you want,
229 plus you can watch the file again later.
